Here is UUnet's latest response: apparently they've suffered massive congestion and an impacted network in about 10 minutes! That's a good sales team! Apparently they got their OC-12 network installed ahead of schedule as well, as we are finally back to normal: Type escape sequence to abort.

We use this number to track specific customer issues. Thank you. The latency you are experiencing in the Bay area is being addressed in the next few months with an OC12 network. This will provide increased bandwidth and alleviate some congestion. Thanks, Steve Williams UUNET Network Support
We are seeing high latency on the west coast. Your NOC page states the problems are only on the east coast :
