At 12.19 CEST a darkfiber between NZS (Nedzone Steenbergen) and EQX-AM7 (Equinix AM7) went down, carrying 200 Gbps traffic.

Currently all traffic is send over the alternative path on our ring namely NZS - GSA.

We have contacted the darkfiber provider Eurofiber and were notified that currently one of the fiber paths is damaged and that crews are looking for the exact breaking point.

Update 17:11:
The location of the fiber damage has been found to be construction works in Etten-Leur, repair crews are underway to repair the fibers.

Update 20:38:
The damage to fibers and pipes is that severe that the decision has been made to place new pipes and put new fibers in them, while Eurofiber does not want to give out a solid ETA the estimate is that they will start placing new fibers at 22.00 CEST.

Update 2018-06-30 04.15:
The splicing seems to be finished and connection is re-established.
