TaosNet is experiencing a local outage that is affecting northern Blueberry Hill and Lower Las Colonias. Techs are on-site and failed equipment is being replaced now.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

We share upstream pipes with Brownrice, so their news is our news. And this is good news.

This is the cause of the outage on north of Taos:

[Kit Carson Electric @kcec1944]

KCEC is experiencing a power outage affecting members on Rim Rd and TSV areas. A construction excavator truck took down two poles with power and internet. Crews are working on the outage.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

We are experiencing a power-related outage that affects internet for 226 of our users on the north side of Taos. As soon as Kit Carson restores power to that location your internet will come back online. You can see a near real-time status about the wide-spread power outage on the Kit Carson Electric web site: https://t.co/YRFlOG8lJn

Both TaosNet fiber routes are confirmed repaired and 💯 functional. Grateful for all the hard working Lumen splicers getting us back in business.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

@CenturyLinkHelp We have multiple tickets open with Lumen. Thank you.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

Update: While CenturyLink claims that all of the fiber has been fixed, as I'm sure you are aware, it is not. One of our fiber routes is up and working but our other route is still fully offline. We continue to push CenturyLink to continue with their fixes, as I'm sure Verizon and all other providers are as well.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

Thanks @DigAlert. The issue here appears to be that the 811 line spotters where off with their marks by multiple feet. So where the road crew dug was marked as safe for digging, and it wasn't. This has been brought up with the New Mexico PRC as it cost the community millions of dollars in lost revenue.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

@ssparksnj Feels like the least we could do.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

One of our fiber routes has been restored and we have traffic going over it. We expect cell and phone services to follow fairly soon for Taos residents.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

This was the fiber coming back online.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

Network issues affecting TaosNet again. We're aware and working on it.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

Fiber is restored to one of our routes. 😀

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

Issues resolved. Networking fully restored.

Another Lumen update, this one much more encouraging. No ETA, but more than 50% of the work seems to have been completed:

A 72-count, 96-count, and a 36-count fiber cable were damaged between multiple utility holes. Replacement fiber has been placed and splicing at the South end of the site has been completed. Field personnel have completed repairs on 36 strands of one 72-replacement fiber in the middle utility hole, with two additional 72 fibers remaining to be spliced. At the final utility hole teams are working to build a splice case and then splicing will commence.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

@jhfarr @jimodonnell2 Thank you John!

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

Latest update from Lumen regarding the fiber cut repair:

The tangling had occurred while splice teams were pulling in the replacement cable last night. The replacement cable has been straightened and placed. Splicing has commenced; however, an Estimated Time to Repair (ETTR) has not been established.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

@jimodonnell2 We’re also providing updates about the fiber fix status every two hours. Directly from Lumen.

[TaosNet @TaosNet]

@jimodonnell2 Taosnet internet is up and fully operational
