You mean WCG had a fiber cut, just west of Houston. Santa Clara is completely and totally unrelated as a destination, on anyone's network. This affects far more than Cogent though. > Their internal ticket # is 387128. > > Is this the second or third this year for them? Higher. You can't hold longhaul fiber cuts against Cogent directly though. Stuff happens. You CAN hold it against them when a single metro cut takes out half of a longhaul crosscountry ring though, or when two simultanious cuts segment the network into east and west sides of the country. Thats just bad planning. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
