We've heard that splicing has been going on for the past several hours
on the 264-count cable. Estimated time to finish that splice is 20:00
GMT.

Got a Level 3 fiber cut in San Bernardino, CA going on for about 17

has two 1G circuits affected.
Looks like they had a hell of a time getting the replacement cable and
splice conduit installed. Splicing is estimated to start in another
2.5-3.5 hours on the east side of the cut.
Here's the latest we received from Level 3.

The Outside Plant Engineer has confirmed the trench is dug and the

The Outside Plant Engineer reported the replacement section of cable
got stuck when pulling it into position. A second splice enclosure
will be installed in the next manhole. Field Operations will dig a
trench between the two enclosures to complete the installation of the
2,400 foot section of 264 count replacement cable. The trench is
expected to be complete at approximately 10:30 GMT with an estimated
time splicing will begin of 12:30 GMT.

The Outside Plant Engineer reported the replacement section of fiber
cable has arrived and is currently being pulled into position. Along
with the section of fiber cable, a new splice enclosure is being
prepped and will be replaced to complete repairs of the 264 count
cable. The 84 count cable has been prepped and ready for splicing.
Field Operations have moved to an adjacent manhole looking for
available slack to repair to the 168 count cable. The Outside Plant
Engineer reported splicing is expected to commence at 10:00 GMT. The
next update will be sent at that time or if additional information is
received.
