<p>Outage Start: October 4, 2016 14:06 GMT Outage Stop: October 4, 2016 15:31 GMT Root Cause: Calls were not present in Level 3 voice switches, impacting voice services in multiple markets of the United States. Fix Action: Configuration
adjustments were implemented to allow calls to reach the switches and complete appropriately. Reason for Outage (RFO) Summary: The Voice NOC investigated reports of voice service impact throughout multiple markets in the United States. The equipment vendor
was engaged for assistance with investigations. No inbound or outbound calls were present in voice switches. The Voice NOC was able to implement configuration changes that were successful in allowing calls to reach the switches and process accurately. The
Voice NOC will continue to fully evaluate the incident and appropriate actions will take place to ensure incidents of this nature do not recur in the future. Services are currently restored and stable. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Both Bandwidth and Vitelity are just VoIP resellers. They use larger carriers like Level3 for their termination and origination. As such Level3's outage is effecting their services as well.<br>
