Network problems around Mae-West/San Jose CA

The question was about the fiber routes, not the data centers. Damage
a long distance away can impact providers.  For example, when the Bay
Bridge fiber route was damaged, several providers lost connectivity to
MAE-West a few years ago.  PSI is still reporting their connectivity to
mae-west is down.
