General home connectivity also suffered, at least a few people (and myself) had connectivity issues, if you search for @vodafone_de on twitter you'll see a lot of people complaining (though I assume it was not just vodafone with issues)

Only those peers who are single-homed to Interxion FRA5 / DE-CIX6 will have experienced an outage. The whole of DE-CIX isn't down.

Yep, that makes a lot of sense, especially since 10G/100G waves and such on the FLAP route are so inexpensive. Getting a remote peering port on AMS-IX or something is probably a good move.
