I can get into both.
What does it all mean?

[ElkGroveDan]

Quick, somebody call Al Gore. He'll fix it.

[Darksheare]

Took me a bit, but I did eventually get to level3's website.

[Xenalyte]

Y'know, I read the entire article, and I am no smarter than I was before I did so.

Might you (or someone) summarize it in non-techie terms?

[Publius6961]

Can anyone translate all this into plain English for us non-dweebs?

[Domestic Church]

I got a grey illegal operation screen on cogent.

[Publius6961]

Does this have anything to do with the Euroeunuchs wanting partial control of the internet?

[FierceDraka]

Like I said on another thread about this topic:

Jerks in suits having a pi$$ing match, and screwing everyone else over in the process.

[Larry Lucido]

THE NET IS SPLIT

Half the net has seceeded from the other half. The northern domains are raising a militia to retake the southern domains, starting with the one located at Fort Sumter. All should be back to normal within 80 or so posts.

I get into both VERY quickly, from an Adelphia Cable connection in Vermont. But I must say the internet has been flaky for me the past few days, and I don't think it's the local servers that were at fault.

I can get into both.

[FreedomCalls]

I tracert'ed both and go to both on the third hop. Both end-to-end routes were complete in 10 hops. My pings report 19ms to L3 and 24ms to Cogentco.
