Michael, We saw routes change on Level3's network about 13:40 PDT today. Routes from San Diego to Phoenix now go up to SJC, to Denver, to Dallas, to Phoenix. Some customers trying to reach us from Cox in Phoenix had some issues where Cox and Level 3 peer. Overall, *we* are not down, anywhere, but increased latency.
The most recent info we have is:

Anyone have any info on a current issue with a feed apparently being cut between AZ and CA that's causing problems for Cox customers by chance?
The cut is a complete cut of a 108 fiber bundle between Yuma, AZ and El Centro, CA. L3 reports it is a very isolated area with no roads, making any access very difficult and slow. The last estimate we received at 23:37 EST (20:37 PST) was 3-4 more hours with the proviso that "Estimate may change depending on circumstances on-site." -- R.
