Tier One ISPs Dying
xbmodder writes "Two tier one ISPs are down today. At about 23:30PST both Verio and Level 3 starting having problems with routes. According to Level 3 this is a software upgrade gone awry. Is this the end for Level 3?" Many, many reports about this are coming in, and if you're wondering why the stories were rather sparse overnight, it's because it's difficult to post them without internet access. Hope everyone else is back online too.

Do you play with your Willy?
even though this has nothing to do with the DNS debate with ICANN and the EU, the media will make it look like the US screwed up things and the internet is down becasue the UN isn't controlling things.
Isn't God trying to tell us something? I mean, look. WTC, the Tsunami, hurricanes, and now this. The egyptian plagues started off mildly and were getting more and more nasty too!

The scary thing is it makes you wonder is some terrorist who has intimate knowledge of how Tier 1 ISP's work doing a trial run in the middle of the night by knocking out Level 3 and Verio backbones so later they could try to knock out ALL the backbones in a co-ordinated terrorist attack. (eek!)
Oh the EVIL TERRORISTS are at it again.
You must be american. The rest of the world is smarter.
Obviously, someone didn't Google "satire" before posting did they?
