Their usual excuse is a fiber cut somewhere, but they didn't even give me
that this time! The thing is, my CSU was green so I know the physical
circuit integrity was there. I'd think it was a bad route, but it didn't
seem to propogate far enough to be that (my Qwest DSL worked fine, and
other parts of their network were ok), so I'm leaning towards catastrophic
router failure, though I can't imagine why it wouldn't have gone to
backup. Surely Qwest has redundancy... ???
