RE: Qwest yesterday?

Their usual excuse is a fiber cut somewhere, but they didn't even give me 
that this time!  The thing is, my CSU was green so I know the physical 
circuit integrity was there.  I'd think it was a bad route, but it didn't 
seem to propogate far enough to be that (my Qwest DSL worked fine, and 
other parts of their network were ok), so I'm leaning towards catastrophic 
router failure, though I can't imagine why it wouldn't have gone to 
backup.  Surely Qwest has redundancy... ???
