There is a fiber cut in NYC affecting AT&T/TCG and MFS DS3s, possibly more.
This is a confirmed cut as it is affecting my voice traffic right now, not
sure if it affecting any Internet traffic but I wouldn't be surprised.
The ETR was 5 to 6 hours @ ~7:30 AM EDT, 5/20/99, which means it should be
fixed by now, but I have not gotten the "all clear" yet. (I know you are
all amazed that a fiber cut takes longer to repair than the original estimate.)
I can't believe I beat Sean.... :)
TTFN,
patrick
