Amazingly this missed all of our circuits, even the backup circuits, so I'm getting mostly third-hand information. The fiber was some combination of Amtrack and MCI, along a railroad track in New Jersey. A backhoe was sited in the area, but I don't have a confirmed reason for the outage. Several providers reported the Sprint NAP in Pensauken was isolated. But from my experiments (LSSR is a good thing) it appears only certain providers lost their connections to Pensauken. The NAP itself is up, and working. I've never heard if anyone was ever succesfull in getting more alternate fiber into the Sprint NAP, or if your choices were still pretty limited. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation
