Anyone know much about this major west coast fiber between Los Angeles and
Washington that was supposed cut this morning? Our network is having
gnarly problems through one of our providers and lesser ones through the
other. Investigation went on for about 2 hours, whereupon i finally
received an email from InterNAP talking about the problems starting at
9:45AM PDT, and being rooted in this fiber cut. My other provider has
since told me that it was a Qwest fiber, and that most major transit
providers were using it.
Global crossing is reporting that SBC was horizontal boring and knocked
out Quest and SBC fiber. This is 4 km north of Wolden Ave and Main St.
in Red Bluff, CA. Qwest has techs on site and they're digging.

Anyone heard anything else about this?
We're seeing circuits down from Sacramento, CA to Redding, CA at this
time. AT&T has confirmed 4 OC-48's are cut and 5 OC-3's to us at this
time.
I haven't heard anything, although we don't use InterNAP for IP nor
Qwest for transit. Some of our eastern-bound IP traffic does head
south (from norcal to socal).
Do you have general timestamps of when the issue began? And two
hours to determine a cut is pretty absurd, if you ask me.
