NKC Datacenter Internet Outage

On August 6 we experienced a significant Internet outage at the datacenter where our VELOXcloud services are hosted.  Around noon a contractor began boring through 11th Street between McGee and Oak Streets for a new manhole.  The area they were drilling should have been free of utility cables; however, it was not, and the fiber that carries our Internet access along with a number of other data services was cut.  An investigation is underway regarding the accuracy of the cable location markings.
