[outages] Rogers fiber cut between Vancouver and Seattle?

[Hugo Slabbert]

Latest update from this morning (summarized from a voicemail rather than 
text update):

- jointing area is being prep'd for initial testing to check for damage and 
  continuity towards Seattle, which will take a few hours
- if testing is successful, both cable ends will then undergo final prep 
  for splicing, which will take another 3 hours
- time to complete testing and working the cable to the proper length took 
  longer than expected
- another hour before prep starts and then 3-4 hours for splicing
- once the fibers have been spliced, outside techs will then be given an 
  hour's notice to begin end-to-end testing

Voicemail noted 07:00 - 07:30 AM PST as the time when technicians would 
begin testing.  As the message came in at 07:42 AM, I can only assume that 
either the actual update from the field came in much earlier and was just 
getting relayed now, or their times are off given that they were talking 
about 4-5 hours between testing + splicing.
