There is a fiber cut in Brooklyn. We have no ETR, as of yet. You can use the MY Fios app for updates. *EAG
- heatmiser 6y agoDoes a cut cable in BK account for outages up and down the east coast?
- mroche 6y agoI'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that question. However, this is the only Twitter comment that mentions this on their page, and I don't have access to a Verizon account to verify their outage status memo. We had a flurry of employees saying their connections were going haywire to the business and this is the only thing I've been able to gather outside of downdetector.
- jasonjayr 6y agoThis is speculation, of course, but: there are several large Internet Exchanges in NYC, and US/EU peering points. It's probable that a fiber cut could have cut several other links, and the failover links are now completely overwhelmed.
- jonknee 6y agoIf it's a fiber that goes into major data centers it certainly could.
- Spooky23 6y agoVerizon had (and apparently still has) a few vulnerable links in the NYC metro area that have wide ranging impacts.

- tombert 6y agoWeird, I live in Brooklyn, I had no issues all day.
- JacobHenner 6y agoAs per WSJ this was not the cause. https://www.wsj.com/articles/verizon-internet-outage-disrupts-usage-in-northeast-11611685745 https://www.wsj.com/articles/verizon-internet-outage-disrupt...
- brown9-2 6y agoIts wild that after ~9 hours, there is still not a clear cause: > The company hadn’t pinned down the source of the failure as of Tuesday afternoon.
