History:
2024-12-03 15:13 – As of 12:00 – we confirm all services back up and running again. We can also confirm that both (Subcontractor and GlobalConnect) cables were broken due to excavation work, and therefore we assess these incidents as a coincidence of unfortunate circumstances.

Subprovider has repaired our cable affected by the first cable cut, they are however not hands off yet, they estimate they will be working on the repairs for another 2 hours.
Most redundant services should be restored, and will hopefully not be affected further, but we are waiting until subprovider’s techs are hands off.
The second cable cut has most likely been located, but excavation is required to verify and perform repairs, however no excavator is available until the morning, so repairwork of that cable is now on hold for a few hours.
