I live in that area, and its far enough from 111 8th to not cause any serious problems, and there's no other telco or network facilities around there, AFAIK. Most of the fiber, etc, is run along 16th street or up/down 9th ave. Thanks, Matt -- Matthew J.

And us as well.. it's coming back up quickly.. and I am seeing routes restored. I hate it when this happens right after everyone walks out the door for lunch. Can't we schedule our unscheduled outages better?

Hopefully this is not related to the small explosion that just occured in NYC. It may be an industrial accident, it was at a tech school (auto/etc..) or it may not be.

Justin, We saw a big traffic drop from them exactly at the same time that you saw. We are contacting them to get more details. In fact, our BGP session with them reseted.
