Several DOE locations are experiencing significant packet loss due to a major fiber cut upstream from the customer sites, causing intermittent issues. Field teams are on-site and working on splicing for repairs. We are awaiting an estimated time of repair (ETR) and will stay engaged with the field teams until we receive a hand-off notification and all alarms are cleared. The following locations are affected: - Chattooga County Schools - Dade County Schools - Murray County Schools - Whitfield County Schools

The fiber was spliced on both ends without restoring the upstream path. The initial reburns on the repaired fibers did not bring levels within spec, and the splice team is traveling to the other end of the new cable to perform fault isolation and troubleshoot for restoration. We are awaiting an ETR and will remain engaged with field teams until all alarms and services have been restored.
