Slow network connectivity was reported by various users on the east side of the campus around 1 PM this afternoon. The performance degradation affected Academic and Administrative subnets. The cause of the problem was traced to a faulty fiber cable between two network switches, resulting in very slow download speeds. The link was disabled and all traffic failed to a redundant link. The faulty fiber will be replaced.
We apologize for any inconvenience this problem may have caused.
