800 service down?
by alex＠yuriev.com 03 Oct '01

03 Oct '01

Hello, I have a few reports that 800 service (not 877) provided by WCOM, Broadwing, Verizon and AT&T are down on the East Coast. A few check from the XO, AT&T and Verizon lines in Philadelphia to a few dozen different numbers incluing 800-USA-RAIL seem to confirm this. Anyone has any details? Alex --

Verio Peering Question
by P R 03 Oct '01

03 Oct '01

I have a quick question about Verio's public peering policy. What is the smallest size prefix that Verio will accept from public peering? The reason why I ask is because my company informed me that Verio will not accept anything from a Class A address with a prefix smaller than a /20 from pubic peering. Is that true? If so, how do small ISP's work around this?

| As a network | provider, we need to have robust network connectivity. An upstream that | aggregates my routes more, thus endangering my network connectivity | would *quickly* lose my business. Then you have a good reason to begin negotiations with other networks with a view to them accepting your unaggregated/unaggregatable prefixes, and can account for this as a cost of doing business. | Is your position, honestly, that a provider the size of IgLou doesn't | *deserve* to have robust network connectivity because we're not big | enough? If so, I'll be sure to avoid purchasing any transit from you. I'm saying that if you are in the business of providing transit, you must be prepared to absorb some costs, rather than dump them on your fellow transit providers. Transit from me is a luxury I doubt you need or can afford, but feel free to take my earlier advice: shut up and send a cheque. Sean.

According to Ameritech, at 8:15am they had a "server overload" that knocked out toll-free service for the 5 state area. They said it came back up for a while, but is definately back down now. Oddly enough, 800-244-4444 (ameritech customer support) works fine for me, but an 800# we have through ameritech ourselves doesn't, so it's not a case of internal v.s. external working/not working. Also, we've got a DS3 down since around 8:45am, and our carrier doesn't have a non 800# to open a ticket (that they're aware of). Yet another reason for people to test and maintain non-toll free numbers for critical services... -- Kevin > > > I just heard off a friend that there is a possible Ameritech Fiber cut...is > there any validity to that?

Customers inside of Ameritech Areas are affected by the outage. From what I understand, the Translation database is corrupt and/or missing.....

I just heard off a friend that there is a possible Ameritech Fiber cut...is there any validity to that?
