They believe that this has potentially affected a large number of ISPs in the
area. Outages are reported in other states including as far as Colorado.
Please expect an extended outage going forward.
Interesting.
CenturyLink has told me that there was some sort of commerical power
failure at one of their sites, and they didn't have any generators
on-site. They were looking to restore power, and I believe they're back
on commerical power, but we're still troubleshooting circuits that haven't
come back up. It can't be a coincidence, but given that they say they
have power back I'm not sure what really happened.
