2014-11-15 8:30am – Westside, Santa Cruz outage RESOLVED

As of 8:30AM, power has been restored to our wireless radios and routers that feed customers in Westside, Santa Cruz.  All Enterprise and Business Broadband customers are now back online.

This failure was from a faulty circuit that should have fed power from a backup generator on the site during a building-wide power outage.  This circuit is now scheduled for future maintenance so this type of power failure does not occur again.

 

11/2 @ 12:25am Westside Santa Cruz outage UPDATE ADDENDIUM

After posting the previous two updates on the Westside outage, our network techs doing these updates realized that it was technically 11/2 due to the outage happening after midnight, not 11/1 as previously reported.

Now would be a perfect time to attribute this user error to this morning’s day light saving time change, but ‘Fall back’ is only for an hour, not a whole day!  Sorry for any confusion.

11/1 @ 12:25am Westside Santa Cruz outage UPDATE

The Westside Santa Cruz outage has been resolved as of 1:30AM, pre-day light saving time switch over.  The previous report of a building-wide PG&E outage was unfortunately incorrect.  We discovered that one of the power ports that one of this site’s primary network components was plugged into had gone bad, so we were able to migrate power over to a new working circuit.  That faulty circuit has been flagged for future maintenance during business hours.

Wireless internet services should be fully restored to all Westside customers.
