Seattle Sprint outage - update?

Any one from Sprint care to enlighten us on the major fiber cut in
Seattle? Any word on when the Sprint facilities in this area will be
back up, or what was/is the problem?

Isn't it a damned shame that a company the size of Sprint does not have a
NOC. <sigh>

Sorry this wasn't about routing configs or peering randy, but the
NOC (Sprint's ISC) couldn't really answer this non-emergency
question, and the (ahem) customer service people at SMC had only a
recording referring to a vague "network event" in Seattle, not actual
information about what was causing the outage.

Vab..

Having a NOC and having a NOC that those who aren't customers or peers can
use for outages or other problems (eg. 2s latency and 50% packet loss) are
two different things.

I don't know if the original poster is a Sprint customer or peer but, if
not, then in my experience you will get more information from asking the
bum in the back alley than from Sprint.

most of us know sprint has a noc. some of us knew it before you were hired.

the poster somehow seems to not have known it, or confused this list with
your noc.

simply amazing how explicit one has to be on this list.

No, you understood it just fine. Randy was being a [expletive deleted].

He does that when things don't go his way.
