Hi Carl,


We saw your inquiry regarding AC2 on twitter and wanted to clarify the rumor you heard. I’m providing you a company statement below, which will hopefully help provide a little more context.


Level 3 Statement Regarding AC2

We made extensive preparations in advance of the storm and have experienced no major service disruptions. All of our subsea cable systems are operating normally. We have experienced a minor fiber cut to one of our diversely routed, secondary backhaul lines which provides connectivity to our AC2 Cable Landing Station, and our technicians are currently working to repair it as quickly as possible. Few customers were affected because most traffic was rerouted through redundant lines. And again, the AC2 subsea cable itself is operating normally.


Aside from that, I hope that you're having a great evening and that all else is going well.

Best,
Jon Paul
