Same thing happened in Monroe LA that took down all of north Louisiana. It was an update that went bad and the switch had to be manually checked line by line. No backup was done before the maintenance. 16 hours of downtime about 45 days ago. On Tuesday, May 7, 2013, Frank Bulk wrote:
Sounds like it was scheduled maintenance gone bad: "Perrine said he spoke with CenturyLink at 6 a.m. where they advised him the company was doing scheduled maintenance. At 7:35 a.m. they told him something had gone wrong during the maintenance and it was affecting customers in 13 states."

I bite my tongue in regards to Network Tallahasee's singlehomedness and Perrine's comment on his questioning of the timing of the update.
I encourage all my competitors to stay single homed and to do their maintenance Sunday morning, while their vendors are at their lowest staffing levels.

I first saw timeouts with www.qwest.com over IPv6 at 3:08 am Central -- I was wondering why, now I know. =)

Saw our Centurylink Ethernet circuit lose L3 connectivity in SWFL around 0400 EDT. ANS/ABS states it's a nationwide routing issue. No ETR. _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages@outages.org <javascript:;> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
