Brightnet / Quality Cablevision / Goshen Fiber Network obtains Internet service from INdigital telecom, an affiliated company and local telephone provider in Allen County,
Indiana.
On Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 14:30 hours (2:30PM) , a critical main processing unit in a fiber optic
transport service failed.
This isolated us from the global Internet, causing a
general failure of our Internet service. A redundant processor should have
provided uninterrupted service, but the secondary processor also suffered a
catastrophic failure for unknown reasons.
Work to restore the outage began immediately, and the
entire fiber transport system was replaced with a spare unit. This step was
taken to ensure that the problem was fully resolved. Partial service was
restored at 18:50, and service to INdigital subscribers returned to full operation at 19:10.
The failed circuit cards will be sent to the manufacturer
for analysis.
As part of other work related to the outage, INdigital has immediately started work on a change of its
network design to ensure the highest quality service possible.
