Sprint Routers Stolen; NYC Internet Outage Ensues

Posted by timothy on from the it's-not-what-kind-of-bike-it's-the-kind-of-lock dept.

cbnet2004 writes "This story on eWEEK reports that late Sunday night a number of Sprint's DS-3 network cards were stolen from a Verizon colocation center at 38th St in Manhattan. Some customers apparently have service back but a number remain down -- it could be a while. The latest rumor on this situation is that some fiber optic cables were cut as well; this could put the affected customers out for days more."

    I hope you get modded into the ground for that.
