It would be interesting to know how incumbent telco services within
Aliant territory became dependent on a link to central Canada. Wh
not legacy.

There is a third route from Halifax -> New Brunswi
Let’s not forget that all POTS and cell service was offline during the
outage - even for local and 911 service.
There is some high level of dependence on some equipment in Quebec and/or
westward which should not be there.
A double fault like that should not knock out all local service for 4 out

Yeah good point Chris …. Got thinking about this too much from an IP
perspective :)

Does this sound like a dry run to anyone else? Or did I forget to take
my anti-paranoia pills today?

Never really heard a lot about it …. We never lost connectivity to Halifax

My understanding is that the Bell Aliant outage was a double fault
situation. Bell Aliant had a fiber cut on one of their fiber routes
early in the morning and then they had a fault on the diverse fiber
route before the first trouble could be repaired.

Did we ever get any resolution on why this was such a big outage? Appears there
were two fiber cuts. Were the fibers damaged in the same conduit? Is this a
collapsed ring scenario?
