I've had a lot of people asking me what "fiber cut" means. So here it is.

A fiber cut is a physical cut of a fiberoptic cable. Generally a fiber c happens when a work crew is digging with heavy machinery. Fiber is incredibly difficult to splice back together because it is glass, and requires a sterile environment to repair.

In order to fix it, a special fiberoptic cable repair truck literally has to park on top of the location of the cut and both ends need to be brought into the truck before you can begin the repair. It is very rare and takes hours to mend.
