Using the looking glass from TWtelecom, we saw 30-60min outage (roughly =
8:30AM to 9:30AM CST) between the Kansas City location and our own =
server room in Kansas City. Other TWtelecom locations appeared to be =

equipment in KC. Either way, none of our KC customers who were served =
via TWtelecom or Timewarner were able to reach us. Packets would hit =
Level 3 Communications and die in either direction at the border between
L3 and TW. FWIW, TW was showing a good BGP route to us and vise versa.
