Not just you (Score 1)

I've been having problems this afternoon since around 3 (Eastern). Examined all the "usual suspects" (my router, my ISP) and found no problems. Ran a traceroute on a few sites I was having problems with and confirmed my sneaking suspicion of a backbone peering issue. Upon checking an internet health report around 5 pm, it looked like Cogent was having some MAJOR peering issues. Link is to a report for the last 4 hours, which makes it look a lot less serious than it was. Looking at the report for the last hour, it appears to have mostly cleared up. Global Crossing was having some peering problems as well, and continues to, it seems, but it isn't nearly as widespread as Cogent's problems earlier this afternoon.
