Re: Last Week's Canadian Fiber Cut

Let’s not forget that all POTS and cell service was offline during the outage - even for local and 911 service. There is some high level of dependence on some equipment in Quebec and/or westward which should not be there. A double fault like that should not knock out all local service for 4 out

Re: Last Week's Canadian Fiber Cut

It wasn’t an issue getting transatlantic - it was an issue within a relatively small region in Eastern Canada talking to the rest of the world for certain carriers. There were several smaller carriers/providers not affected - just happens the local incumbent telco and one of their larger

Never really heard a lot about it …. We never lost connectivity to Halifax from Montreal via Hibernia - interesting topic though as we have a backup path that I’m looking to replace :) Paul > On Aug 15, 2017, at 1:22 PM, Rod Beck wrote: > > Did we ever get

I can't speak for the Bell Aliant network, but I'm only aware of two diverse fiber routes out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax -> New Brunswick -> Quebec City is the Canadian route and Halifax -> Boston is the diverse route. On Tue, Aug 15, 2017, at 01:52 PM, Jared Mauch wrote: > Perhaps some

Did we ever get any resolution on why this was such a big outage? Appears there were two fiber cuts. Were the fibers damaged in the same conduit? Is this a collapsed ring scenario? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/concerns-about-backup-bell-outage-1.4239064 Roderick Beck
