I was wondering when this issue was going to be brought up. C&W dropped peering with several backbones. I will bet the problems started about a week ago.
Probably because they didn't meet the new C&W peering requirements. They sent me a link to their peering requirements the other week when I asked. Basically, to peer you have to have an OC48 backbone with redundantly connected nodes in 9 regions of the USA (according to their definition of regions), peering at 4 diverse locations, with a minimum of 45Mbit/s of traffic at each location. Interestingly, C&W's network map doesn't show PoP's in all of their 9 regions.
