So the official word on the outage came out yesterday after they finally figured out what to say. BAD NETWORK MANAGEMENT CARD in Denver Colorado Central Office generating frames across the network. Yeah.
Surprising, it doesn't sound like they have named some poor field ops tech as a scapegoat on this.
Now....you have to ask yourself, how can one network management card bring down an entire network with multiple nodes, redundancy and routes? Hmmmmm.
There are techs in the field who think they (the company) purposely caused the outage as a ploy to help get out ofnthe copper business by blowing customer faith in our ability to provide relaible service.
Not sure I agree with this since their fiber customers mean so much to them and they took a bigger overall hit than anyone riding copper.
