I've had contractors for Zayo hitting multiple fiber routes over the past 3 months numerous times affecting us, AT&T, CenturyLink, Windstream, Fiberlight, etc in south Texas. Actually had one cut yesterday around 3pm and lasted till 1am.

I heard, and am seeing that construction type jobs don't seem to be affected much with the virus shutdown.  I mean I see guys building homes and working on roads all around me...  furthermore, we've heard of a couple fiber cuts that have brought portions of our network down a couple times in the last week or so.

Howdy,

With so much work shut down, I'm curious how backhoe season is shaping up this year? How do the circuit and fiber outage numbers look?
