As much as I hate to ever defend that abomination that is XO, I can get to my colocated stuff in Nashville with no problem. Could be Tampa specific, I am hitting XO in DC, running down to Atlanta, and back up to TN without a problem.

Yep, appears that this was an XO metro fiber cut in Tampa. Evidently the redundant routes weren't. Thanks to all that sent me info offlist, David

Anyone know what's going on with XO? Seem to be having some big outage in the south east for phone and data; traces to equipment in Tampa stop at Virginia. Their customer support lines are as useless as usual with their 'unusually long hold times' which seem to be quite predictable at 60 minutes at a minimum every time I have ever called them.
