Subject: Level3 funkiness


Anyone else experience sporadic funkiness via
Level3? I can't even reach the main website from who
knows how many networks I've tried. Also friends
and former colleagues have tried to reach the site
to no avail.

Confirmed it can't be reached from Travelers Ins, The
Hartford, none of my connections. Anyone else seeing
issues? I'm seeing drop off from clients going through
their Atlanta interconnects with Charter and two other
providers, which I can't make sense of. I DO KNOW they
experienced some sort of issue with a TDM switch or so
they said... Very broad statements: "We know teh
interwebs are down please stand by"

I know websites are one thing, but the chances of the
website going down, a TDM switch being wacky and now
clients traversing their networks complaining all at
once seems a little out of the ordinary.
