Saw our Centurylink Ethernet circuit lose L3 connectivity in SWFL around 0400 EDT. ANS/ABS states it's a nationwide routing issue. No ETR.

From what I've heard its about 10 states affected, mostly legacy Centurylink/embarq
Seems to be affecting DSL, T1 on our end, and from what you've said ethernet as well. On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 8:33 AM, Marco Prechel <marcoprechel@gmail.com>wrote:

Been down and out for the count here in Kansas City on AS22186 (Legacy Embarq/Sprint) / 76.7.0.0/19 since around 3AM central time. The routing within CenturyLinks' network still appears to be functional (DSL customers), but anything outside of a local region with CenturyLink appears to not function. Unfortunately, I've not much more to say than that. =/ Regards, Brett On 5/7/2013 8:03 AM, Jeremie Chism 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." 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.

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:
