I Don't Get It. Arizona taken out... No GLP Coverage

I'm south of ya and didn't hear a peep.

north Phoenix here.
*waves*

Fox News just reported on this, saying it was found to be intentionally cut.

Because the line was from Phoenix to points north.

Hmmmm.....

^^^^^
This.

Unless there was some dark (unused) fiber that they were able to repurpose, splicing has to be done one fiber at a time. Very time consuming.

Definitely something weird about this. How is it even possible that so many different companies and service providers would be routed through one bundle? Who owned it?

EDIT: AC 68387284 said:
"The line affected belonged to Centurylink. Use of this line is also sublet to other communication companies, including Verizon and CableOne, hence a downtime across several carriers."

Thanks for that. It still seems strange that an entire region would be on one line.

The Brotherhood of the Snake owns it.

Holy shit! You really are confused about meth heads. I agree that most meth heads are fucking idiots, but not all of them. How you described meth heads is the typical, nonsensical exaggeration that is simply not true.

Or maybe, nobody that knew about it could post about it. Or, they posted about it and then lost their internet connection, so they couldn't reply and keep the threads going.

Have you ever spliced a fiber cable?

Two and a half hours is a ridiculously fast repair.

Also really confused as to the nature of fiber optic cable.

Here's a clue. No copper.

ps: or aluminum.

Shills very busy in here, that's always annoying but it's a little heavier than usual

Thanks obama

All of Flag and Sedona was out?

Everything North of New River, but have not seen anyone from Flagstaff post yet

That's what I was going to say. No way you fix a fiber cable that big in a few hours. And the 6 - 7 hours quoted was from start, search, mobilize crew, dig up, etc. No f-ing way. This was planned.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — People across northern Arizona couldn't use the Internet or their cellphones for several hours Wednesday after someone vandalized a fiber-optic line that brings communications to a large part of the state, officials said.

Businesses couldn't process credit card transactions, ATMs didn't function, and even weather reports were affected in an area stretching from north of Phoenix to Flagstaff, about 100 miles away.

Most definitely, who wakes up and says? I know! I'm going vandalize fiber optic cable!

various webcams appear to be functioning. Northern AZ GLPers must all be asleep.

Everything is back up now

Lies.
Thread: Internet, banks, cell completely down in AZ UT and Idaho

Learn to do a search next time, before getting on your soapbox.

Thanks.

Strange that an article about northern AZ comes from the newspaper in SLO, CA.

Interesting thread

Yeah, crazy shit! This is just another fine example why you should always have your home fully stocked with food and cash on hand

At least it wasn't the power. That happened a couple years back.

This story reminds me of the day I saw a missle launch out in the Pacific the Chinese set that one off I believe, it was dismissed as a commercial jet liner

I think we are looking at a very interesting 48 hours

* EDITED

I went on to say that the two whole posts about the millions without phone and Internet weren't very inspiring.

"Meth heads" will then argue to justify their insane actions. They're so whacked they see sense in the absurd things they say and do and refuse to listen to any or all logic and reason.

I wouldn't doubt for a second that they're behind this. And that they believed what they were doing was a good idea because they were protecting the world from the evil internet or something.

When they do that crap their brains turn to swiss cheese where the holes fill up with the most bizarre, insane fantasies and logic that they hold to solid-as-a-rock truth(s). And even years after they're "cleaned up", they still live in fantasy land forever.

They don't need rehab and therapy, they need repurposing. Like into landfill.

The more "meth head" is pushed, the more it looks like there IS more to the story then, phft, vandals.
