[Outages-discussion] [EXTERNAL] Re: [outages] Major Verizon FiOS Outage VA/MD/NJ/PA 11/12/24 12:28am EST - Ongoing

[Ross Tajvar]

I'm on fios and was/am affected by this outage. Traceroutes were stopping
(I switched to my VZW hotspot so I'm not in a position to check again) at
my local firewall so, while I didn't directly try to ping the upstream BNG,
I'm pretty sure it was unreachable. My ONT remained connected though. So
not sure what's going on here but I don't think it's as simple as a
backhaul failure.
