Note the competitor's comments. =)
I'm not sure if this fiber was a mixture of a local loop and transport, but
from the affected services, it looks like there definitely was a transport
component where customers didn't have a ring topology to protect them from a
cut like this. Perhaps some circuits were built redundantly and this was
just one path, but we'll never know.

Mitch,
Yep that is exactly what I see in Megapath CONNECT as well for our myriad of
Gilroy circuits..
From what I have gathered from various news outlets and other mailing lists,
a power substation in San Jose was vandalized, along with fiber that runs
nearby it. HAZMAT had to get the sub-station vandalism cleaned up before
AT&T could get in to start splicing.

We are currently experiencing a service interruption due to equipment

UPDATE: Megapath NOC is still following up with Carrier/ ILEC to resolve the
fibercut issue in their network. No ETR available.
Master TT number: 5303870
Severity Level: P1
Total End-Users Affected: 1
Start Time: 04/16/2013 01:15:00 AM PDT

Hi,
I've got confirmed reports (from Cogent and Megapath) that there is a fiber
cut affecting service through the South Bay. We have Cogent fiber circuits
down in Campbell and San Martin. In San Martin, landlines have no dialtone
and AT&T cell phones have no service whatsoever. All calls to Gilroy
landlines are failing to All Circuits Busy.
Anyone have any further details? The issue seems to have started around
1:00am PDT or so.
