Re: April 2000 COVAD dsl problems

[Alex Rubenstein <alex () nac net>]

In the east, NY specifically, they had a multitude of problems, that in a
period of four days, we had an outage for more than 48 hours cume.

One problem was 'AT&T related'.

Another was that they reached the connection limit on the BPX.

An another was a qwest DS3 acting flakey.
