It's not football killing us tonight! They finally responded after I called
them twice and waited 1 hour, 51 mins for a ticket reply. They said several
circuits are down to Rochester and they're trying to balance traffic on the
remaining links. It's slowly getting better but we're still down 25% from
our normal peak at this time of night. It's better than being down 50% of
normal.
This seems to be happening more frequently the last 2-3 years or there's
more capacity sold, being used, in RST compared to years past when there's
been fiber cuts. The slow performance is very noticeable. Less than 2 Mbps
download and 10-20% packetloss anywhere outside of RST.
Ben, are there any Arvig cuts between RST and Belle Plaine/MSP? I'm pretty
sure they have some 100G paths from you guys.
