Re: DunLUG Digest, Vol 101, Issue 11

Fibre cut between Dunedin and ChCh.
Fibre cut between ChCh and Wellington.

Orcon apparently did not have sufficient failover until late Saturday PM.
We (WIC/Wicked Networks) had working upstream service although some
services were affected.

Don't beat up the provider too much - this was essentially worst-case
scenario for most carriers.  While two carriers do have redundant rings
ChCh-Invercargill via Dunedin and Queenstown and ChCh-Wellington via Picton
and Greymouth, not all ISPs provision sufficient redundant capacity on
these services to stay up in the event of a double outage.
