Re: [northeast] Verizon FiOS webmail

:

There is a backbone router down in Vienna, VA. Run Internet Traffic Report (www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm) to see its status.

I'm curious, and asking because I don't know.

How do you know it's a backbone router, and that that particular router outage is causing issues with traffic in the mid-Atlantic area?

Is that router outage causing the FiOS webmail problem, subject of the OP? And why don't they just fix it already?

The router's URL points to 207.254.32.14 and whois says it belongs to Amerion. How are they connected to Verizon?

Added: Amerion.com and bossig.com point to the same outfit. Amerion looks like they are a dial-up ISP.

Re: [northeast] Verizon FiOS webmail

Sorry, I'm new to this board and its mechanics.

First, before someone else jumps in. These are my assumptions and they fit with the problem that I am seeing. This slowdown SEEMS to correspond to the router outage. I am offering this as a possible explanation for this issue.

1a. Read the introduction to Internet Traffic Reports.com. It's a listing of backbone routers in the world(at least a sampling). If a router goes bad they have to get another one. Usually takes time if they don't have a spare on hand.

1b. Verizon's feed doesn't just run on Verizon's network. It uses the Internet backbone. If local service normally runs through that router, the local service gets redirected and takes longer.

2. If they have a backbone router, they have a backbone router. Doesn't matter what services they offer.

I talked to Verizon several times about this issue. They say that it's not on their network so there's nothing that they can do. If, indeed, this missing router is the problem then they are correct. The proof or disproof will be if normal service is retored when the router is replaced.

I think most of them are more likely edge routers, not major backbone. Above.net is represented. Check out »/routerwatch for a similar display of possible router problems. These are tested as part of line quality performance tests.
