Latest from Rogers this morning has the cable on the seabed and Bell and
Allstream beginning fiber testing at 01:45 PST. We got link up on our
circuit at 06:05 PST with connectivity confirmed across it and no flaps
since that initial link up.

Latest update from this morning (summarized from a voicemail rather
than text update):
- jointing area is being prep'd for initial testing to check for
damage and continuity towards Seattle, which will take a few hours
- if testing is successful, both cable ends will then undergo final
prep for splicing, which will take another 3 hours
- time to complete testing and working the cable to the proper length
took longer than expected
- another hour before prep starts and then 3-4 hours for splicing
- once the fibers have been spliced, outside techs will then be given
an hour's notice to begin end-to-end testing
Voicemail noted 07:00 - 07:30 AM PST as the time when technicians
would begin testing. As the message came in at 07:42 AM, I can only
assume that either the actual update from the field came in much
earlier and was just getting relayed now, or their times are off given
that they were talking about 4-5 hours between testing + splicing.
