[outages] Comcast packetloss/latency Chicago Il

[Steve Bohrer]

I'm at a small college in the South West corner of Mass. We lost our  
main link from campus to Boston this morning, with service restored at  
13:26 Eastern. Our local provider described it as "fiber cut due to a  
fire at our carrier's location between Pittsfield, MA and Springfield,  
MA". Our monitoring showed the link going down between 06:14 and 06:19  
Eastern.

I'm guessing based on the restore timing and location that your  
Fairpoint/Comcast link might have been caused by the same break,  
although our traceroutes show Global Crossing as our carrier from here  
to Boston. Not sure how many of them use that same fiber...
