Google DNS issue (maybe with CenturyLink)

Hello, Anyone else experiencing ping issues with 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4? Based on preliminary research might be a CenturyLink specific issue. 2 networks in Seattle and 1 network in SFO (ATT) have the issue. A few others seem fine. Seeing a spike with Centurylink and Google on downdetector.com Thoughts? Thanks,

I see loss of resolution/ping to Google DNS as of just after 2021-08-15 02:55 UTC from Centurylink small business GPON in Seattle. Traceroute seems to not even get out of the CL network. No issues from seen from Comcast at the same location.

Seeing the same thing - Denver, AS209 DSL. The last IP resolves to tuk-cntr-03.inet.qwest.net which I suspect is near Seattle.
