Level(3) was down!
 

Fucking Level(3), was down across the board this morning! In Europe too!

First fucking with Cogent, then fucking with their entire base with a total DOWNAGE.

I hope all you idiots who think "Level3" is premium see what they are now.

Fucking sheep. You and level3.

really ?

This just in... JFK was shot while riding in his motorcade in Dallas.

Yup for about 2-4 hours (depending where you were, and who was affected)
I had first hand experience of them going down; and you can also check NANOG.

Everyone was down, ISP's, hosting companies, etc. USA and Europe.

The had problems with some redundancy of equipment

So much of the internet depends on level3 :(

Oh noes, thanks for letting us know Captain Obvious!

Yeppers they look kinda stoopid now

"Kinda"?

Duh, benefits of being multihomed. Hosts like TechieMedia, and other's who rely heavily on Level(3) were affected.

You're paying a shitload for Level(3) bandwidth, when it is pretty much shit. You could be getting way better bandwidth, support, etc for the same pricing else where if people wernt sheep.

Ever heard of nLayer? Bet you havent, bet you also don't know they are the BEST peered IP transit provider in the USA for residential ISP's.

Guess where surfers come from? Thats right, residential ISP's.

What is nLayer bandwidth? A mix of MCI/UUNET, Global Crossing, and soon Sprint, thats in addition to the massive amounts of peers.
Can you buy servers from nLayer? No, they are an IP transit provider only.


Now go find hosts who use nLayer, but to be safe, make sure they are running BGP with another provider as well.
