Multiple folks are reporting their Sprint DS3 and T1 circuits are down in the Seattle area. Abovenet, UUNET, Verio, Qwest, and more report no backbone infrastructure problems in the Seattle area. A few individual customer circuits are down, but it is likely a problem at the customer site, not with the network. The Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) appears operating as normal. Qwest/USWEST reports extremely heavy call volume in the Seattle area, and dial tone may be delayed. But there is minimal infrastructure damage to their network. Data circuits appear functioning as normal. Some long-distance telephone networks have messages that calls can not be completed due to an earthquake in the area.
