Earthlink or BBN Tech Support? Forget it... Latency in Oakland/San Jose...

  • From: Marcos R. Della

Ok, several days later and many multi-hour waits to get through to
someone who knows something at Earthlink has finally resulted in this
posting since I can't get help any other way.  Maybe someone can shed
some light on if anyone is working on this particular problem.
 
Oakland, CA POP for mindspring/earthlink appears to have significant
latency and packet loss problems for the last week or so independent of
time of day.  This appears to happen either through a session via
bbnplanet links or even through their own peering sessions there.
 
This might very well be nothing more than a BBNPlanet meltdown in San
Jose, however the first two included traceroutes show something other
than BBN... Any clues or anyone from either of these places care to
comment?
