I have had similar issues with AT&T in NY. They have peering issues
with MCI killing random access to random websites, (www.netflix.com,
www.netbank.com). I trouble shot it with AT&T a couple week ago and
they killed a bad link. It fixed my problem. Last I knew the link
was still down and they were looking to repair it this week.
