<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Yes, Vocus may have been operational however several Telcos and ISPs in the pacific islands that use Vocus backhaul with their termination points on the Equinix SY loop suffered major outages. For example, Digicel Pacific
(in Fiji and Vanuatu) had major network outages with no international voice or internet as a result of this fibre cut. Vocus may have been all good, but their customers certainly were not. What diversity does Vocus have in place from the CLS in Alexandria
to the Equinix SY loop?</p>

<div dir="auto">You do realize that Vocus have no control over companies with side boarers right? Its that company obligation to do dial before you dig.

No not really, this is Vocus we are talking about, the same company who<br>
had an entire DC go offline during a maintenance window.<br>
I know technology and infrastructure fails from time to time, but Vocus<br>
have not had a good run at all the past month or two.<br>
