From what I have seen, the best thing for anyone is to open a ticket with your
upstream provider. They are the one that you pay to get to the 'internet'.
Most large providers know where there problems are and are working on them..
They know what pops are hot and which ones are cold. If GC is sending traffic
to a hot pop of ATTs, maybe they could send the traffic to another POP. But
that is something your upstream should work on.
