Heads up about that new data center they built near the airport in Tampa
I was doing a routine network audit at a small business right next to that site last Thursday, and I noticed their whole fiber connection kept dropping randomly for a few minutes each time. Turned out the construction crews were accidentally nicking underground cables while trenching for new power lines. Has anyone else run into interference from nearby build sites messing with client infrastructure?

Hold up, I get what you're saying but I gotta push back a little here. Construction crews nicking fiber is super rare in my experience, like less than 1% of outages I see. Most random drops come from legit ISP issues upstream or bad termination in the building. If the business was right next to the site, sure maybe, but usually those guys map underground utilities before digging. Could be the real problem is something else entirely, like old splitters or a flaky ONT. Just saying, blaming the new build site right off the bat might make you miss the actual culprit in your own setup.

“Less than 1%” youve actually tracked that stat yourself?
