Level3 or Centurylink transport issue?

Hey has anyone noticed significant packet loss from level3 or centurylink? We are having an issue with packet loss to BW media IPs 67.231.13.87 and 88. We rerouted all media traffic to out other DCs, and the poor MOS scores have disappeared. Rob Whitlatch Director of DevOps White Label Communications 215-987-4500

Yes, I am currently experiencing an outage on Level3 on a wave between Ashburn and Raleigh. Sounds as if their protect path is oversubscribed.

There's a possible fibercut between Ashburn and McLean VA on Centurylink. That may have something to do with it. On 11/15/19 10:33 AM, Kate Gerry via Outages wrote:

Update from CenturyLink: The Outside Plant team on site has advised that the auger has been removed and the cable has been cut away from it. Efforts to manually hand dig down to the damage are currently ongoing. It has also been advised that cabling as well as some of the duct will need to be replaced between two handholes. The full extent of the damage to the duct and fiber will not be able to be confirmed until the excavation process is completed.
