Packet loss between these two has been 40% or more for weeks now. From our providor (Pilot) this is one of our main paths to anything hosted by ANS on the east coast, so basically at 40% packet loss, we have no connectivity.

ANS says Sprint has been aware of this is and is awaiting a "management decision" to upgrade the links. ETA, who knows.

Sprint, you listening?
