That might be because of this: The IP NOC with the assistance of the Operations Engineering team confirmed a routing issue to be preventing BGP sessions from establishing correctly. A configuration adjustment was deployed at a high level, and sessions began to re-establish with stability. As the change propagates through the affected devices, service affecting alarms continue to clear. Due to the nature of this outage, it may be necessary to reset your services locally at your equipment, or manually reset your BGP session. If after that action has been performed a service issue prevails, please contact the CenturyLink Repair Center for troubleshooting assistance On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 7:42 AM Drew Weaver <drew.weaver@thenap.com> wrote:

That site seems to be just for their cloud products, is there one of these for their actual network?

Hello,

Woke up this morning to a bunch of reports of issues with connectivity had to shut down some Level3/CTL connections to get it to return to normal.

As of right now their support portal won’t load: https://www.centurylink.com/business/login/

Just wondering what others are seeing.
