Fiber cut on Irish Sea

Hi There,

Since we use a vendor of "the vendor" of two Irish sea submarine
cables I am wondering if anyone has first hand information on the
fiber cut this morning? Does anyone have a status update on what is
happening? I am getting some Chinese whispers going on here.

Thanks!

Ken

affecting whom? and who's network?

We received the report from Packet Exchange, however they are not the
owners of the cable. I assume they just rent spectrum.

Are you able to provide historical information on the incident/outgae you have experienced?

Are you able to provide an egress and/or igress traffic coming in and out of your network to make sure your traffic was crossing that transmission path?

I guess you must have visibility of planned work or outage notification if anything happen and you were directly affected- YES/NO?

Hi,

This has been fixed now. I will follow up directly with PE for an RFO.

Thanks for your help on and off list.

If it was repaired that quickly it was probably not a cut or a 'wet' failure but maybe something like an electronics failure in a landing station or something similar.

Hi Justin,

It happened at 8:00AM Irish time (which is about 2:00 AM My time) I
didn't get in to the office and notice the mail until 6 hours after it
happened (In Central America) so it took about 7 hours and 30 minutes
to fix.

PE also reported that the problem started at 8:00 AM on the 29th and
was repaired at 9:05 (no AM or PM) on the 26th (yes, three days in the
past). I don't think their timing procedure is functioning correctly.
