   w00t! Looks like internet service has been restored. It’s been out for almost 7 hours.

     Apparently a fiber optic backbone was cut. Took out the service for most of mid-MO. Why isn’t there more redundancy? :/

     @jpope @mohanpram Part of #Verizon's problem is that they were randomly cutting everyone else's lines: water, sewer, etc.
