PSU Problems Thanks To Cable Cut (Updated)

A fiber optic cable cut in San Jose is causing some problems for PSU players this afternoon.

For several hours this morning and afternoon, some of Sega of America's Web sites and services were down, apparently as a result of the severed cable. Access to most of these sites appears to have been restored as of about 2:30 PM EDT.

However, all US/EU PSU authentication and game servers are still down due to a hardware issue. It's not clear whether or not this problem is related to the cable issue.

AT&T, the owner of the fiber optic cable, says that it is actively working to restore service to phone and Internet users in the area. San Jose police are investigating the incident as a possible case of vandalism due to the location of the cables.

UPDATE: Access to the game servers has been restored.
