Well maybe there’s no point in paying if you want an easy out ... this is just conjecture, but I certainly can’t find anything about Telos being out anywhere and I would imagine it would cause a big stink and be mentioned somewhere if it appeared to take out a large portion of the US southwest?
Look, on Tuesday there was a huge outage for much of the day for Earthlink, a very big ISP here, covering much of the northeast and southeast US and some other areas as well, into Texas and beyond. My email was down (I have an email which was taken over by earthlink, one of many they took over through the years) for most of the day. Yahoo also was briefly out.
I was able to quickly find a map of the outage in real time for Earthlink, and only a bulletin update on Yahoo. Both came back up by late afternoon. There was no mystery, it was easily documented.
No such outage for Telos occurred, a server change yes, but no outage.
