XO outage in NJ/NY?

Thu Aug 30 20:10:33 UTC 2012

Anyone heard anything about an XO fiber cut in northeast? We have had a
bunch of issues with some DID's in NJ today and one of our carriers
forwarded a a vague statement from XO:

*XO Communications is currently experiencing a fiber-cut which is causing a
service interruption for some markets in the east coast region. Users may
experience DID failures for numbers in NY, NJ and other surrounding areas.
They are working on fixing the issue but unfortunately have not provided an
ETA at this time*

Just curious how widespread the effect is and if anyone knows anything more
about it

thanks
