Update
We apologize for the late update. As of now, we have had our partner carrier confirm that they have spliced the fibers. They reported that the issue was resolved. However, we are still seeing multiple sites impacted at this time, and have re-engaged the local carrier for further investigation. We do not have a new ETR at this time but will provide it as soon as it is available.

Please contact the WiscNet NOC if you have any further questions.
