Dear Customer,

As discussed on the call, we have identified a major outage in our network. Our team on the ground has confirmed that four (432-count) cables have been cut in Paris, France.

The affected cables run along the Paris sewer route, requiring local authority permitting before repairs can commence. Our team is actively working on obtaining the necessary approvals to proceed with restoration.

At this time, the cause of the incident remains unknown, and unfortunately, we are unable to provide an Estimated Time of Restoration (ETR).

We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
