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." http://www.tallahassee.com/article/20130507/NEWS/130507010/Centurylink-outag e-affecting-local-internet-provider?nclick_check=1 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.
