Are there a bunch of hosts down atm?
 

And does anyone know why?

There was a global Level3 problem. Everything is coming back up now.

Level3 and Verio are both offline ... :(

Red isn't offline! It's just not good. LOL Verio has not been down at any point this evening, we push significant traffic through them and although they were affected we still routed all the traffic proper.

Dont know why but big shit is happening.

Gotcha, thanks all. As I am re-scanning the board I am seeing the answer to my question just phrased in terms I wasn't expecting...lol

Thanks all!

sorry Brad ... you are correct

I should have said inaccessable to most ...
My phone, email, and IM have been going crazy, and I have <50 clients :Oh crap

Level3 decided to make their own internet
and doesn't want to share :)

To say that Verio was inaccessible to most isn't even entirely accurate. Our traffic flow in/out returned to completely normal levels through our multiple Verio connections once we manually turned off our Level3 connectivity. The problem we were having here was that Level3 was still accepting our connection locally and announcing routes but once the traffic got onto their network it was going nowhere.

Anyhow - time for some rest. Best of luck to everyone as things return to normal around the net!

Cheers

I <3 Brad Mitchell.

Damn, what the fuck was that. My internet practically broke. I rebooted my comp like 3 times.

It's till going up and down depending on where you are I think. Every few minutes I get cut-off from everything then it all comes back.

Yeah my sales have tanked this past hour. Level 3 you are screwing me!!!!!!!

Level 3 has had 1 foot in the grave for a long, long time now.
We're talking like three years plus.

Who needs terrorism, when you have fucked-up corporations?
