Onvoy: Fiber Cut Interrupts Telecommunications Services [Okay, it's a bit of a stretch but it does show the vulnerability of fiber. How long would it take to repair fiber cuts in developing countries, especially in time of war or extreme weather? djane] Wednesday July 21, 6:04 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Onvoy PLYMOUTH, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Onvoy (formerly MEANS) has issued a status update on a network service interruption that began earlier this afternoon and is affecting telephone and Internet services to portions of central Minnesota. According to Onvoy network technicians, a fiber cable was cut this afternoon at approximately 2:00 p.m. Repair crews from Plymouth-based Onvoy and Lakedale Telephone Company in Annandale were immediately dispatched and the actual location of the cut was identified shortly after 4 p.m. It is unknown how many customers are affected by this outage. Crews expect service to be restored by early evening. Privately-held Onvoy is the Upper Midwest's leading provider of integrated voice, data and Internet services, comprised of former companies MEANS Telcom, MEANS Communications and MRNet. Onvoy is Minnesota's largest Internet Service Provider and operates one of the largest networks in Minnesota-a 100% fiber optic network spanning more than 2,000 miles across the state with multiple connections to Internet backbones. Onvoy and its local telephone company partners support the delivery of data, Internet and video services to more than 470 school districts and public libraries across Minnesota. In the fall of 1999, Onvoy will launch a full suite of integrated local telephone services in the Twin Cities metro area. SOURCE: Onvoy Copyright © 1999 PRNewswire. All rights reserved.
