[outages] Fiber cut possibly along I-90/94 corridor in WI

[Jeremy Charles]

Our affected circuits came back up at 10:32am.  WIN subsequently confirmed that there was a fiber cut, but that their fiber provider was able to move all services on to spare fibers in order to restore traffic while the cut fibers are being worked on.

We lost a couple (unprotected) circuits with Wisconsin Independent Network at about 9:50 CDT this morning, running from Verona WI to Rochester MN and MSP.  One of our team members called WIN's NMC and the tech who answered said his phones just started lighting up like Christmas trees and their network engineers were beginning the troubleshooting process.

I'm pretty sure our two circuits are groomed along the I-90/94 corridor between Madison and Tomah, and then they split to follow 90 and 94 separately.  If this is a fiber cut in that area, it's likely to impact a number of carriers.

Obviously, it was too early for WIN to give us a diagnosis and ETR at this point.  They're pretty good about sending updates when they've got info to share.

Anyone else seeing impact?
