[AusNOG] Fibre Cut in Sydney - Vocus

[Christopher Hawker]

Hello David,


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?


CH.

You do realize that Vocus have no control over companies with side boarers right? Its that company obligation to do dial before you dig.

And you do realize that Vocus was still operational with their diverse links right?

Also you know that Vocus was not they only one to suffer from that cut right? SCCN and other carriers did as well.

I don't think it be fair to target them on this occasion.

Cheers,

David.

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