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.
