I'm not running to any telco-conglomerates' defense, but I think it is safe to assume that legacy-Qwest national IP backbone (read: ex-IconNET, AS209) is quite different than legacy-SBC IP net. No? On Thu, 22 Nov 2001, Sean Donelan wrote:

This has been going on (according to the Qwest technical support person) for multiple hours, and Qwest has no further information. Qwest suggests DSL customers contact their ISP for further information (although it is clear that this is not an ISP-level issue at time time).
Maybe Qwest was jealous of BT's DSL network meltdown, and wanted to show they can break a network better. Two DSL networks meltdown in the same week?
No Qwest web page or other information about the outage is available according to the Qwest support person.
According to http://stat.qwest.net/ Qwest and TouchAmerica have 100% uptime for the last 90 days.
