Whenever you get simultaneous outages for multiple
telecom services at the same time it's almost always due
to a local issue like a major cable cut or a central
office fire. Sounds like a SONET ring that was either
unprotected or both legs cut. After 10 minutes someone
manually rerouted the circuits.
