[outages] Cogent cut on West Coast - seeing high latency to Arizona and East coast

[Sean]

This is probably the same cut in Roll, AZ that Zayo suffered. There is a splicing crew on-site, but unfortunately it seems like the more they dig up and attempt to fix, the more they find wrong. Here’s the last update we received:

"Our leased fiber provider are continuing to make repairs. We’ve been informed that the delay in restoration is due to a lack of fiber slack they thought was available to perform a butt-splice repair. They are currently installing a new splice enclosure in order to complete the cable repair. We’ve asked that Zayo fibers are prioritized once splicing begins.”

There might also be some lingering issues with Telia due to the same fiber cut. We’re seeing 25-30% packet loss between Seattle and Phoenix via LAX.
