"'ServInt Internet Services experienced a
massive fiber-cut, when MCI-owned and operated OC-48 and OC-12 fiber
strands, including a trunk terminating into ServInt's primary datacenter,
were accidentally cut by VA Department of Transportation (VDOT) in
Northern Virginia. ServInt's MCI-operated circuits arrive at our building
through a collapsed trunk, despite dozens of miles of protected fiber on
our local ring. The cut was so close to ServInt's primary datacenter in
McLean, VA that it affected this portion. Circuits on order are confirmed
to be on a separate ring coming into the building from a different
location. More details will be made available as they become known.
Thank you,
-The ServInt Network Response Team
