The fiber repair teams report the 96-count cable is completely spliced and the north side of the 432-count cable is completed. They will now prepare the south side of the 432-count cable for splicing. We have a new ETR of 5 pm CST. The original ETR was for the completion of the 96-count fiber cable.

The underlying carrier has given an ETR of 3:00 PM for completion of the fiber splicing and restoration of service.
Updates will be posted here as they become available.

The underlying circuit provider confirmed fiber repair teams have completed splicing a 96-count fiber line and are now splicing a 432-count cable. There is no ETR at the moment.

There is a fiber cut between Atlanta Ga and Charlotte NC. Field resources are onsite pulling two 4000 feet of cables through the duct. As of 8:00 p.m. on 1/18/2023, the carrier had pulled 1800 feet of cable. There is no ETR for completion of repairs at this time.

Windstream has confirmed that the outage is due to a fiber cut. An ETR for the repairs is not available at this time. Updates will be posted here as they become available.
