I don’t guarantee the validity of the data and we don’t have any numbers impacted (no voice services with CL).

Of interest is this:
5:46pm central:  What Happened
Data structure error were observed on the 8xx data table.   A script was  run to correct the errors, and wiped out the 8xx data table which  caused every CenturyLink provided 8xx numbers to stop processing calls.   Cause is unknown at this time, isolation and investigations are  ongoing.  Trouble identified as an 8xx database issue.  Next Steps
Most current backup database has been identified and is being reloaded  currently.  This reload is expected to be completed in approximately 20  minutes if no issues are encountered.  All critical teams are engaged in  restoration efforts.  edit 2:   from Centurylink at 5:16pm central:   REPORT OF MAJOR SERVICE FAILURE OR OCCURRENCE TICKET # CO.090315.009/PURPLE/UPDATED
