Thu May 11 11:58:26 PDT 2000 — The COVAD backhaul cross-connect is down as a result of a fiber optic cut that affects all Covad connected customers from Covad’s San Francisco and San Jose NOC. This affects _all_ customers, not just Sonic.net customers, and Covad’s NOC is working as quickly as possible to resolve the situation. We have not been given an ETA on repairs, and will update the MOTD as soon as we get more information. – Eli
