I can confirm this as well, although have no proof (at this point) that Layer3 is necessarily to blame. We (or rather the company I work for) are seeing similar between MCI/UU/Verizon and WCG when reaching some of our clients:

From the Cogent NOC:

"Yes, we became aware of a problem within the Level 3 network that affected all routing from all affiliated ISPs on the Internet. Many of our own customers called because they were being affected. At approximately 3:45 PM EST, the Cogent NOC was able to contact the Level 3 NOC and obtain information that the issue should be resolved within 15-20 minutes from that time. The specifics were not released either to our NOC or from Level 3's NOC."
