AboveNet Network Issues -- East Coast...

Good morning,

AboveNet Client Services doesn't seem so keen on letting me know why
packets are falling on the floor between over my abovenet connection from
SFO to NYC this morning.

Something on or near:

Dear Valued Customer,

There has been a fiber cut affecting our northern path
across the US. Backup southern paths have taken
the load however we are seeing latency at this time.

Yesterday there was a router crash in Chicago (i.e. right on the northern
path and message said that crash was unexplained) and there was some other
fiber cut earlier in the week in California I think and something else
too. Compared to earlier in the month, they seem to be having a bad week...

Update:

They claim it's *yet another* fiber cut this week... (???)

There is no ETR for the fiber cut Crews have
been dispatched to locate the cut.
