[CenturyTel] What Caused the Prolonged Outage?

I live in northwestern Alabama, and my Internet was out from about 7:30 last night to 11:45 this morning. I was wondering what could have caused such a prolonged outage.

First thoughts would be a cut cable, equipment failure, or power outage. Possibly an upgrade or maintenance gone awry, but they usually don't do those until after midnight.

I also experienced this outage, in Hamilton MT. I now notice my ping in games is 10ms higher than it normally is. Not a big deal, but something definitely happened on the network.

I find that hard to believe. Google Earth tells me that Hamilton, Montana is 1,623 miles (as the crow flies) from Hamilton, Alabama!
