TPG have now had at least 3 major fiber cuts in the past 6 weeks. Some form of policy, law, legislation, (whatever we want to call it) needs to be introduced where if a civil contractor causes damage to a telecommunications carrier network, then the business/company responsible is suspended from performing civil works for 3 months, hit with big-time financial penalties, or where it occurs multiple times then they lose their rights to operate as a civil contractor. This might teach them to be a bit more careful.

I can also confirm that one of our suppliers (TPG) did not provision the diverse circuit on the alternate path as ordered. In fact we became aware of this issue a few months back when a similar outage occurred. Both circuits went down when a single incident occurred. The team notified TPG of the error back then and it’s taken months to accept and plan to correct. This was apparently planned for February 2018 which is incredibly frustrating for Megaport and our customers at Polaris. Unfortunately it ain’t what it used to be...
