This was the Metro Mall facility, operated by Switch and Data until
Equinix's acquisition of S&D a few years ago. It is now known as
Equinix-Miami 1. 1 NE 1st Street.
The issue here has nothing to do with any hurricanes in the past. My
opinion is that they lacked proper documentation and planning. Having a
bit of insider knowledge here and knowing where this fiber came from
originally (ACSI) and how FiberLight came to acquire it, I'm fairly sure
I'm on the money.
