My connection through a Sprint hotspot is only able to reach www.google.com and plus.google.com (but not news.google.com, reddit, hn, my own website on the other side of the city I'm in, or practically any other website I can think of.) I got on with tech support this morning and they had no indication that anything was wrong regionally, had me do a factory reset on the device, and verified it was connecting to their network successfully. So, maybe my issue is resolved, but Sprint is still having peering issues. That is the kind of behavior I would expect to see during an issue like this. Of course I go into the store and they tell me there have been regional issues for the last two weeks and it's not my device (we can't help you), but everything works fine for me while I'm inside of the store and on the way back. Then 2 miles before back at the office, broken again, call again and phone support guy hasn't heard anything about this Malaysia Telekom debacle or any regional outages in my area. At this point I notice that I can still reach some sites, but most sites are down. Not completely sure this is related, since I've been having issues since Wednesday afternoon (in fact that would seem to indicate it's unrelated). Also possible I have been having one issue that was fixed by the factory reset, so now I can freely experience the other issue that everyone else around the globe is apparently having today. I am interested to know from The Expert as well, when Telekom Malaysia fixed their issue (it is actually fixed at the source now, right?) would there be some propagation delay or aftershocks, or should everything just return to normal relatively immediately.
