As of a short time ago the fiber break in Massachusetts has been repaired
and all network traffic has restored to standard paths in southern Maine.
Users may have noticed a brief interruption as routing normalized.  We will
continue to monitor for any issues, however at this time all network
services are operating normally.



Thank you.

The cause of this outage has been determined to be a fiber break in
Massachusetts.  Work is underway to repair the fiber, however at this time
we do not have an ETA.  So far we have not seen any congestion on our
remaining links so things should be running normally.



Thank you.

A few moments ago we lost our Internet and Internet2 paths out of
Portland.  All network services have failed over to Internet and Internet2
paths in Orono, however users may have noticed a brief period of outage
while services re-routed.  All network services should now be restored to
normal operation, however overall capacity is reduced in the current
configuration, so it is possible some congestion may be encountered until
the Portland paths are returned to service.



The cause of the outage is currently under investigation, although weather
is a likely root cause.  Updates will be provided as soon as additional
information is available.



Thank you.
