Confirmed here as well, 7 out of 7 L2 tail circuits not passing traffic after a good hour of instability.

FWIW, I don't recall any recent maintenance announcements from them, so this is a bit troubling (I'd expect this if we saw a big rollout of new code the night previous) since it came out of the blue.  I can also confirm we saw our first outage much earlier than they acknowledged, one circuit lost connectivity at 5:23 a.m.  I can also confirm that we did not see the physical layer go down once on any of our circuits, this seems to be occurring in the core, not the rings that actually service the buildings.

We're legacy ConEd/RCN/Sidera, have no idea if this is happening with the LT network or not.

We got what appears to be a bogus "all restored" email at 2:50 p.m.

They have reports about some services being functional, while other still experiencing packet-loss and latency. It does not sound like they have been able to identify the root cause and are still troubleshooting.

> Anyone else seeing any issues in NYC with Lightower/Sidera?  Starting around 6:05AM (EST) we saw heavy packet loss across their network (from Sidera legacy) and some of our point to points bounce. The P to P's have some what stabilized (though we've seen a couple more bounces since then) the IP side of things have been pretty much unusable (we shut our session down.)  It also looks like their phone system is having a problem - calls into them seem to drop after trying to connect to the NOC - which I'm sure is pretty busy.
