| [TWC] Level3 breaks public peering
FYI everyone ... Level3.NET has decided to turn off public peering with Cogent (and others) this morning at 6am.
What does this mean?
Anyone with connections through Level3.NET (like RoadRunner) cannot access certain Internet sites because Level3.NET refuses to route to them.
This is just greed! Level3 basically wants everyone who peers with them to pay, and not provide any free public peering.
Everyone should call Level3.NET at 877-453-8353 and complain.
I am a RoadRunner customer and can no longer access my office because my office is connected via Cogent.
Level3 needs to hear from the Internet community that what they are doing is wrong. |

Dayton, OH | RR will simply update their routing tables to word "around" the problem and they'll probably do this quickly. |

you'd think RR would post something simple like this on the network status page instead of the red dot mumbo jumbo they have for nyc.rr.com |

| The network status page at least has something that vaguely touches on the issue:
I've never seen them put "RoadRunner" or "All divisions" as the area affected before. |

further...
my own domain, which has not been reachable by me from roadrunner, can be reached directly by a friend on the att network, so roadrunner's problems today may be even broader than connectivity with cogent. |

Yep
I can no longer get to www.weatherunderground.com
My weather station started reporting connectivity problems at 5:56 AM this morning. I guess that is when they pulled the plug.
Who do you complain to - Road Runner?? I bet their tech support is clueless |

Kenosha, WI | I'm in an online chat with a RR tech support, and they are just saying "routing issues outside of their network, with no ETA on resolution"
This will effect more and more throughout the day as people notice issues. |

Well - Just for grins and giggles - I 'called' TW help desk
Lanze L> There is an issue routing to certain networks outside of Road Runner. This is due to a high level network restructuring and sites that are hosted on the affected network should become available again when the restructuring is complete. We currently have no ETA on resolution.
Lanze L> Was there anything else that we can help you with?
I am sure glad I dont work on a help desk....... |
