You got them to admit they had a congestion issue? Wow. Did you use truth serum or a cattle prod? 8-) C -----Original Message----- From: Erica L Johansson [mailto:acire@arpa.com] Sent: Friday, October 30, 1998 11:46 AM To: John Gonzalez/netMDC admin Cc: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: exodus? We have been having problems reaching hotmail and ebay for weeks now.. Our customers called them, and they said it was within our network because they couldn't see us (traceroute clearly showed congestion on their side though). We finally did get some info out of them: Exodus net admitted that they have a bandwidth problem to MCI, and their border routers are severely congested. They are currently in the process of increasing their bandwidth with C&W. Their estimate (in their own words) is approximately 40 days until the circuits are upgraded. So, it will be quite a while before this will be remedied apparently. Erica L Johansson Network Administrator ServiceCo/Road Runner On Thu, 29 Oct 1998, John Gonzalez/netMDC admin wrote:

Anybody else have any problems with exodus, or is it just me?
