Investigating

The network is down in several Boston FSILG locations. This is due to a cut fiber optic cable in Boston. The fiber vendor is currently working on restoring the circuits.

At this time we do not have an ETA on the repair but IS&T will continue to monitor and update as the situation progresses.
