ISP Dispute Causing Connectivity Issues for Customers

Posted by Zonk on from the make-up-you-two-or-i'm-turning-this-interweb-around dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A peering dispute between Telia and Cogent is causing routing and connectivity problems for many internet users. Cogent shut down their connections to Telia over what they described as a 'contract dispute' over the size and location of their peering points. Telia attempted to route around the problem, but Cogent blocked that, too. This has caused a lot of trouble for sites which are not multi-homed. Groklaw, for example, is on a Cogent network (MCNC.demarc.cogentco.com), so any Europeans connecting via Telia can't get through."

    Yes, because efficient government services have done such a great job at eliminating drugs, crime and poverty in the United States. And the way they provided food in China and toilet paper in the Soviet Union!! Tell me more about these wonderful government services that always do everything absolutely perfectly! ...but never orders the company to pay the workers what they demand, or when it bails out the bank to prevent economic disaster, but never zeros out a person's mortgage. Silly me, I thought most countries had the concept of bankruptcy which individuals could declare if they found themselves in a situation where they were unable to pay their bills!
