Historically providers have been reluctant to provide that level of detail concerning traffic levels. A few providers, generally smaller ones, do make MRTG graphs available. Once in a while a provider will announce they had X Peta/Terrabytes of traffic for some time period. But most prefer measurements which can not be correlated with revenue (e.g. packet drops, latency, jitter, availability, etc). I didn't see any noticable change on Abovenet/MFN's public MRTG graphs at MAE-West/MIX-West. Keynote/Matrix public data show no visible changes of the web sites they measure. They may have some private data which shows more details. Of course, NASA is a US federal agency, so you can always try the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). But they have other things to do today.
