Something similar just happened to me yesterday. My condo building has multiple providers: AT&T, Comcast, and Gigamonster. Apparently a Comcast technician "accidentally" disconnected my 1gbps Gigamonster service while setting up a new Comcast client in my floor's Telecom utility closet.
I've lived in highrise complexes for the past decade and have experienced this type of outage four times. The common denominator seems to be Comcast.

In addition to what others said, support for precise garbage collection in LLVM was not ideal at the time. The experimental gc statepoint extension spearheaded by the Azul guys is trying to change that. They've been working on it publicly since late 2014.
