[outages] Verizon Business OC-48 in Philly, S. New Jersey down

[john at quonix.net]

This is very similar to an XO OC-48 fiber cut that happened back in July. 
Same areas were effected, South Jersey and Phila. XO was down for 27 
hours. The OC-48 may well have been Verizon - wonder whats going in Jersey 
with these OC-48 cuts?
