While most of these services have now been rerouted via Above Net etc, some ISPs such as Time Warner (in NY at least) still seem to be routing via Level3 and unable to get to a lot of destinations.

Time Warner always seems slow to re-route. T-Mobile is having the same issue.

    Confirm. Woke up this morning to limited connectivity, realised I was getting to some sites and not others. While on hold with TWC (where they said there was an 'outage affecting service in your area'), loaded HN to see if, well, HN would load, and this was the #3 story. Thanks HN, GFY TWC!

      You just described my morning.

        Time Warner asked me to give them the milliseconds of a working website traceroute, instead of the broken link to a non-working website! It's hilarious (and quite sad) how incompetent Time Warner is.

        You should be up and running now.

  I guess it's a question for NANOG and not HN (if there are any TWC netops here, chime in!), but I'd love to hear a PM why the very expensive routers they buy are not able to automatically re-route to a different peer AS when this happens.
