The connection has been rerouted and is online. As of now Services have been restored. The primary link is still being repaired

Thieves stole some copper from a cable cabinet and in the process cut the fiber out of it as well.

As soon as they cut through the fiber it tried to re-route to backups, which is why we came back online for a little while, but ultimately caused a loop in the system which caused a major outage 20 minutes after that. Our team worked with the upstream carrier and were able to resolve the issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused. Thanks again for your patience with us while we worked to resolve this issue.

Teams are still working on repairing the primary fiber link. Another backup link is being setup and a route is being setup for it. Once this is resolved internet should be restored. Thanks for your patience as our technicians are working on this issue.
