Anyone seeing issues for GBLX around NY?

dude, chill. no need to yell.
you know, GBLX sells a lot of different stuff - are we talking IP
transit, MPLS transport, wavelength, voice? what kind of issues? how
is anyone going to know what you're talking about when you're as vague
as humanly possible.


You're awful at this game. When faced with a totally vague question, 
lacking context or useful information, it's up to you to supply your own.

Start with, always:
"Yes, <vendor> is having problems in <location>."

Then, tap your coworkers for assistance:
1: Name a hardware Vendor (the lower the stock value, the better)
2: Name a transport technology (frame relay, sonet, etc)
3: A number between 1 and 10.
4: A number between 8 and 32.
5: A seasonally relevent catastrophic event (snow storm, backhoe, 
exploding squirrel)

Respond: "Yes, <vendor> is having problems in <location>. Seems <5> hit 
this morning around <3> am, effecting <2> connections in that location. 
<Vendor> is having problems getting backup systems online, because they 
were idiots and deployed <1> gear without failover. At last check, it'll 
be at least <4> hours before they get things sorted out."
