I'm being told by my colo provider (in NY) that Cable & Wireless northeast is currently under a major DoS. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

The nice thing about public traffic stats is everyone can see how you are doing, good or bad. Cable&Wireless's traffic web site indicate some "yellow" delays from Washington, but nothing excessive. http://traffic.cw.net/ DOS attacks tend to be highly localized, so it is possible your upstream provider or someone sharing your C&W node is experiencing a DOS. But it doesn't appear to be affecting the general C&W network in the northeast.
