We didn't have anything down in that area in our maintenance/outage list. 
Another carrier has been fighting a cut between Winona and Wabasha in a difficult location. Maybe HE has some services through them as well? It seems out of the way, but...

It's not football killing us tonight! They finally responded after I called them twice and waited 1 hour, 51 mins for a ticket reply. They said several circuits are down to Rochester and they're trying to balance traffic on the remaining links. It's slowly getting better but we're still down 25% from our normal peak at this time of night. It's better than being down 50% of normal.

This seems to be happening more frequently the last 2-3 years or there's more capacity sold, being used, in RST compared to years past when there's been fiber cuts. The slow performance is very noticeable. Less than 2 Mbps download and 10-20% packetloss anywhere outside of RST.

Ben, are there any Arvig cuts between RST and Belle Plaine/MSP? I'm pretty sure they have some 100G paths from you guys.

Anyone else connected to Hurricane's RST router noticing major congestion? It looks like the RST-BLP-MSP path is down and traffic is being diverted to CHI first or DVN-OMA.

Any speedtests to ISP's like MiBroadband or KMTelecom that are connected to RST are fine but any tests outside of that like to US Internet or Carleton College, I'm seeing under 2 Mbps download speeds and 20% packet loss.

I reported it to Hurricane at 7:39pm but it's been ongoing longer than that. I called 10 minutes after I emailed their NOC and the lady there wouldn't transfer me to an engineer and just said they'd reply to my ticket after they looked. I stressed the urgency since our traffic levels are only 50% of what they should be right now.
