[outages] Fiber Cut in SF Bay Area

[Darren Schreiber]

This reminds me of my favorite Level3 article ever, about fiber cuts.

http://blog.level3.com/level-3-network/the-10-most-bizarre-and-annoying-causes-of-fiber-cuts/

Frankly, I think every fiber cut should be coupled with pictures posted about the fiber cut. Can't help but be curious sometimes!

Yes, Level(3) did find the Fiber cut for the Sunnyvale, CA area but the cut was in the San Jose area.  The fiber cut was spliced and fused earlier, but re-dispatched for a customer's dark fiber strains, but other than that everyone should back in service if affected by this cut.

If you are experiencing a service disruption, please report the issue to Level 3 by submitting a ticket via the MyLevel3 Portal or calling 877-4LEVEL3.

Similar confirmed reports for fiber services between San Jose and San Martin with Zayo and Level(3). I have an ETR of 11AM PDT, splicing in progress.

Hi,

I've got confirmed reports (from Cogent and Megapath) that there is a fiber cut affecting service through the South Bay.  We have Cogent fiber
circuits down in Campbell and San Martin.   In San Martin, landlines
have no dialtone and AT&T cell phones have no service whatsoever.  All calls to Gilroy landlines are failing to All Circuits Busy.


Anyone have any further details?   The issue seems to have started
around 1:00am PDT or so.

-Robert
