Does 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.
