West Midlands fibre cable(s) cut/break
« on: April 29, 2020, 01:22:13 AM »
Not sure if this is the right section for this but there seems to of been a fibre cable(s) cut/broken, that’s affecting the West Midlands area. Both Sky and Virgin have outages relating to it. I’ve noticed that my connection with Zen is showing a couple of increases in latency, starting around 1:15pm ish. I assumed it was just a routing change but might be indirectly related?

Sky and TalkTalk Business both use Virgin Media fibre, Zen use TalkTalk Business. Likely all the same incident.
