It looks like the upstream providor is messed up. No phones or anything telco related in the town where foonet is, i guess they are working as hard as they can to get it resolved. Not foonet's fault!

Qwest is the culprit.

I thought they had more than one provider?
Shouldn't they be working at least?

**UPDATE (from paul over cell phone):
All telco running into the entire city is down. all voice/data lines are down. Numerous trouble tickets open/active with telco facilities and providers.
will keep informed as it progresses...

Sorry if i'm wrong here, but BGP doesn't that already load balance the transfers between multiple pipes? So I'm assuming if one pipe is closed, and the other open, it shouldn't take that long to figure out which pipe to send the data down?
Anyways, I was just asking a question, I don't need to hear your smug remarks.
Thanks for coming out Carl!

Of course, things are much much more complicated than this, but it's a simple summary.

I'm not flaming foonet I love them from the bottom of my heart so don't take this the wrong way.
However, Carl, we aren't talking about some Trans-Atlantic fibre that's been disconnected, which would require sending new gateway information all the way to Qwest's head office. We are talking about a data center. Hence the thread topic.
Thanks once again for your most elightening comments.

BlackAng,
Wherever the problem lies, you need to see it on a worldwide scale. Routing tables need to be propagated to a great deal of peers, wherever the outage may occur.
In this case, there simply isn't a workaround, since the complete city seems to be cut off, including all providers.

FOONET is still the best for shell hosting.
It's not their fault they only have a few T1 lines... or wait? Am I living in the past? Have they actually upgraded?

From the looks of it, although they may be multi-homed, they probably only have one fiber provider. If that's the telco, and everything else is down, chances are it's a problem with the telco.
I believe that they've upgraded a lot from a few T1s, don't know specifics though.

We can speculate for hours on this, but nobody can offer a real answer since Foonet/CIT hides their super top secret network configuration. Otherwise, we might be able to help them!
I wish all my traffic went through AS174.

Fiber Lines were cut. They are back now.
There was a time when I knew better.
