Tier One ISPs Dying 394
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.

Yeah, I remember life before the internet. I used to read books, watch TV, and even occasionally go outside under that big yellow face.

Way to remind the rest of us we're old, young whipper-snapper!
Why in my day, we didn't have the Internet! You'd have to carry your packets to your neighbor's house so he could copy them to his computer, and that was networking. Of course without the Internet, we didn't have IP, we only had P. Thus the phrase, "I'm going to go take a P" -- as in "I'm going to take this data to my friend's house."
See, I bet they didn't teach you that in school. We old people know things!
