We too had probs. I saw only two outages, one around 8PM PDT and one around 9:45PM PDT. I called during the first one, and the people I talked to were obviously in a state, and I had trouble hearing anyone, as they were in an extremely loud part of the data center or something. From what I could understand through the noise of some really loud fans or a generator, there was a power test of some kind, and a generator flaked or something. I've requested more detailed info, but have yet to receive it.
From what I understand, it affected more than just one provider.

We just saw one of our gig-e circuits to the Westin bounce three times and another just go flatline in the past hour.
Answering my own question I know, but the OnFiber/Qwest guys I spoke to informed me that they heard the Westin had some sort of backup power scheduled maintenance go wrong. That was the 3 bouncer. I still wouldn't mind independent verification of that.
The flatliner was XO, and it seems that it may not even touch the Westin (instead goes to 1000 Denny.) I still don't know what happened there. It did come back after 86 minutes of eerie silence. Anyone else with XO circuits see anything odd tonight?

Note to XO NOC: Your hold music is *awful* and on a way too short loop. It is bad enough when it is bad music, but to hear it over and over and over... for well over an hour, is customer torture.
