It seems the biggest impact of the Seattle earthquake on the Internet was the brief unreachability of the KOMO-TV Station and Seattle Times web sites. No telecommunications companies report any reported network problems, although some reported they were on generator power for a short time. Abovenet/mfn ATT Genuity Internap Sprintlink Verio Verizon Worldcom/uunet/mfs/etc The Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) appeared unaffected. I don't know the current status of either either the NIX or the SNNAP. I have out-dated URL's for them. I especially liked the part where the reporter could only reach the telephone spokepeople via e-mail at first because the phone lines were so overloaded. http://www.abcnews.go.com/sections/scitech/DailyNews/quake_techstatus010228.html http://seattlep-i.nwsource.com/local/telcom01.shtml
