I just got another call back to tell me that they'd isolated the problem
to the Orlando, FL site where we connect to them. I said "I don't think
so." All their NS servers are unreachable or unresponsive (to the whole
net, not just me), and they think it's a bad circuit in Orlando? It seems
almost like the two callbacks I've gotten so far are from different parts
of Sprint. Neither seems to know what the other is doing. Neither seems
to know what's going on in general. At least the first one knew there was
some general "big problem" on their network. Both are acting on the same
ticket opened by a single phone call from me.
