Yes, they do have an outage. Master Ticket NIL3901265 Words from our Q Rep: We do have a master ticket opened NIL3901265. This is Network wide and currently being worked on, unfortunately at this point we do not have an ETA. Do you have access to Q-control? An individual ticket can be opened thru Q-control.

I haven't heard the final reason(s) on why. I do know a Qwest engineer called one of my end users stating they had a 'couple T1's throwing 1000's of errors' and they removed those from service and things started working. Nothing official, yet. Jim McBurnett wroteth on 9/4/2009 1:15 PM:

Interesting.. If those were SS7 links in the right place, I could see some issues there.. BUT you think they would have error reporting on that... This is sounding more and more interesting...

I've yet to see any of the major telco providers in the United States actively monitor counters on any of their equipment (regardless of capacity). The modus operandi is "monitor nothing and wait until customers complain". I imagine Qwest operates similarly. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

I am now getting reports affected customers seem OK now but no official confirmation, yet. This is in Southern Oregon. Jim McBurnett wroteth on 9/3/2009 7:38 AM:
