Two tier-one ISPs are scr0d today
Have you noticed that the Internet is a little slow and weird today? Check out this scoreboard from the Internet Health Report. Two gigantic backbones, Level3 and Verio, are both in the red, failing to route traffic at nominal levels. Level3 recently screwed up huge swathes of the Internet by pitching a tantrum over a contract negotiation with Cogent (another tier-one ISP). No word on what's causing the whackiness today, though.
