That AT&T has stopped provisioning protection fiber for automatic
restoral is mind boggling.
That our crack (or on crack) govt contracting/emergency-preparedness
staff didn't demand protected facilities for 911 is another mind
boggling issue.
That there is no over-under wide-area back-up coverage for the cellular
canopy ...
We posture and orate about being prepared for terrorist attacks and
natural disasters, and then events like these reveal the reality:
The emperor has no clothes.

Service to South Santa Clara county is completely down: Internet,
landline, and cellphones. Both Verizon and AT&T are affected. 911 is
also down.
My cellphones show one or no bars. Normally they are all four bars.
The idea that all of that is lumped in one fiber bundle is mind boggling.

I saw my Sonic.net-over-AT&T ADSL go dark at 02:30 local and it is still
down, served on a fiber remote out of SNCZCA01. (I'm guessing the 200 Paul
outages are associated with where this ATM terminates and that's the cause,
rather than the service in/out of Santa Cruz County, but I have no way of
telling which from here)
My own Gatespeed.net microwave to Equinix SV-3 is working fine (no surprise
there), and I'm not seeing significant routing problems in/out of there with
transit or peering. (Not even any down peers, so no inter-Equinix-site
outage apparently).
