I had a transport OC3 drop at 1136CDT and restore at 1142CDT - it rides 
Telwest via Telx at 2323 Bryan where it hands off to Looking Glass/Level 3.

Granted, the same circuits went down one week ago:

Dear Valued Customer,

On August 9 at approximately 5:30pm CST, telx experienced a temporary 
loss of power on the MMR DC plant at 2323 Bryan.  Since that time, telx 
Operations along with the Engineering team of our service provider 
Digital Realty Trust (DRT), have been working to ensure the 
functionality of the system and determine the reason for outage.  At 
this time, telx and DRT have confirmed that all systems are functioning 
properly and continue to investigate the reason for the power 
interruption.  Upon completion of the investigation, a full post mortem 
will be distributed to affected customers.

telx has 24x7 coverage at 2323 Bryan to support our customer needs.
