I'm sure Cogent is getting a kick out of this. :-)
Our L3 link started having serious issues at about 1:45 EST
and we turned it off.  It seemed like an eternity for them
to withdraw our routes from their peers though so they
must be having some serious issues.  From home on Verizon
FIOS they seem to be trying to push most of their traffic
onto their Level 3 link in Atlanta which is making me
unable to get to Google and a few other big sites.

For those with L3 that want to call them, they have parent
ticket 1429209 open on this issue but you won't get any info
yet so I'd give them some time.
