My dedicated server went on to serving data as dialup modem speed and provider said it was optic fiber issues on their end. That seemed to be fixed later on.

I have to remember to check HN before driving in to work when a bunch of people call me about outages.

We're beginning to see sites come back up on our TWC connection.

Too funny -- I diagnosed this to L3 on my home net this morning and I found myself saying "I wonder if anyone else has this issue?". When it comes to the backbone providers there is no Twitter account or status.level3.net or status.theinternet. Hard to do when everything is decentralized. I usually go hit NANOG when stuff like this happens but you're not guaranteed to find something real time there.

Maybe NSA filter overload?

NSA updating firmwares.

Confirm. Woke up this morning to limited connectivity, realised I was getting to some sites and not others. While on hold with TWC (where they said there was an 'outage affecting service in your area'), loaded HN to see if, well, HN would load, and this was the #3 story. Thanks HN, GFY TWC!

You just described my morning. Opened HN right after this: Tracing route to debian.org [128.31.0.51] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 2 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.1.1 2 42 ms 28 ms 28 ms cpe-74-73-128-1.nyc.res.rr.com [74.73.128.1] 3 14 ms 13 ms 12 ms gig-0-2-0-3-nycmnya-rtr1.nyc.rr.com [24.29.98.1] 4 12 ms 15 ms 15 ms 184.152.112.105 5 17 ms 15 ms 15 ms ae-3-0.cr0.nyc20.tbone.rr.com [66.109.6.76] 6 13 ms 12 ms 15 ms 107.14.17…

Time Warner asked me to give them the milliseconds of a working website traceroute, instead of the broken link to a non-working website! It's hilarious (and quite sad) how incompetent Time Warner is.

11 out of 37 routers down as of 11am EDT. http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm

Are they typically all up?

Nope. But that seemed like a few more than normal to me. I might be wrong about that, though.

We can confirm that there are large issues on Level3's network we've had to pull them from the routing mix until they get everything resolved and stabilized.
