Since this was a partial fiber cut this morning, perhaps they had to complete the cut to repair it this afternoon and that knocked Andrew Bunde out?

*** CASCADED EXTERNAL NOTES 08-Feb-2017 16:51:32 GMT From CASE: - Event Upon further investigation, Field Services has reported that the issue has been isolated to a partial fiber cut. The partial fiber cut occurred as Level 3 Field Services were cutting a hand-hole into the duct as part of pre-implementation work for an upcoming fiber relocation. The Fiber duct was believed to have been empty and therefore, no impact was expected. Fiber splicing repair teams are still en route and have provided an estimated time for arrival (ETA) of 19:00 GMT. An estimated time for repair (ETR) is still unknown at this time.
