Qwest is investigating an internet outage which took place yesterday. Apparently internet and VoIP service was interrupted for a number of customers yesterday afternoon.
Perhaps not coincidentally, some ISPs were also knocked offline which in turn took TMCnet down for about an hour last night.
Whether the incidents are related is not known to me at the moment but there seems to be a slim chance that numerous outages around the same time are unrelated.
To show you just how interconnected the nation's communications networks are, Verizon Wireless said 24 cell towers in western Colorado were off the air for more than an hour yesterday.
One would surmise Verizon is using Qwest fiber for backhaul from its cell tower sites.
