[comp.dcom.telecom] AT&T Reports Major Cable Cut

sanford@uunet.uu.net (Curtis Sanford) (01/05/91)

I was just unable to complete a direct dialed call from San Francisco
to London.  When I contacted the AT&T operator, she also initially
failed ("Unable to complete your call as dialed.  Please check the
number or call your AT&T operator for assistance."), and told me that
they had a major cable cut near York, PA that was causing
difficulties.  With some additional effort, she was able to reach a UK
operator and complete the call.  This was at 9:40am PST.
