...although those are both leaving Chicago, to the best of my knowledge.
The latter is in a trace from Chicago to Toronto on PSI.

In the interest of clarification, this comes from one of our providers:

  The fiber cut has been isolated to a location 10 miles west of Montville
  Ohio. The fiber is owned by MFS. (MCI / WorldCom). The matter has been
  escalated to VP level with MFS.

So there is an MFS fiber cut somewhere in Ohio that is affecting several
North American Networks.

(Sean, where are you??)

Here is what I have recieved thus far:

  Updated By: psarrate at 09-29-1999 19:24 GMT

  The teleco reports that the cut may have been caused by gas company
  workers while they were doing construction work in the area.

  Estimated time to repair (ETR) is 4 to 6 hours. The reason for this
  extened time is because there is not enough slack in the cable to bring
  the two cut ends together. An additional section of fiber is needed
  to make the splice. The needed fiber is hours away and needs to be
  trucked in.

It should say multiple OC-192s down. Or maybe massive number of strands down

Which Montville? There are two townships named Montville in Northern Ohio,
one 30 miles east of Cleveland in the corner of Geauga County, the other one
about the same distance *west* of Cleveland in Lorain county.

Can't speak for the Montville in Lorain County, but my parents live in the
Montville in Geauga County. I'd be extremely interested in knowing what's
going on out there. I want to know exactly what's going on that would
require digging in the middle of nowhwere. :slight_smile:

There is rumor that they found Jimmy Hoffa's DNA while doing some US Army Corps
of Engineers ground samples. They're trying to dig him up so put him on trial
post-*HUMOROUSLY*... They're pretty sure his rotting corpse is the cause of
this weeks cancer scare at the local highschool.
