May be their NOCs did, (unless they were too busy reading NANOG of
course). Without calling them it would be difficult to tell.
Meanwhile the few of us on this list in neither NOC can pontificate
about it which will no doubt be of great assistance to them in
resolving the issue at hand.

Sarcasm aside: If people posted 'Verio<->Sprint peering problems,
Verio Ticket number nnnnn, Sprint ticket number nnnnn, apparent
latency problems between west coast customers caused by peering
congestion in Seattle' or whatever (not that I'm saying this
is what the problem is here), this would no doubt be treated as
an informative post (just like when Sean tells us about fiber
cuts). If, on the other hand, nanog is used as an alternative
to noc@ or your regular support channel, the s/n ratio here will get
even worse.
