Comcast outage across the midwest apparently
its gonna be a long day *sigh*
Comcast please fix your shit so I don't have to explain to another customer that the issue is not on our end
thanks 😩
so the Comcast outage today was related to major fibre cuts?
at least one in North Carolina
"Field Operations dispatched to the estimated failure location and upon arrival was advised by local law enforcement there was a truck that struck a utility pole, which then fell across the street and struck another pole, which then tore down the aerial fiber lines. In addition to the fiber lines being down, live power lines are down as well."

that one is from someone posting a Level3 outage note
no safe zone for fiber it seems, bury it and someone will hit when they dig, put it on aerial and someone will hit the damn pole
"No Safe Zone for Fiber" a documentary about the folks who have to splice fiber to fix major fibre outages
@nev fuck that's much better
the saga continues, this time in NYC:
[outages] Emergency fiber maintenance New York 111 8th
