RE: Comcast/Level3 issues

I'm seeing the same as well. Can anyone from Comcast/Level(3) reach out to me 
or provide comment. We're seeing heavy jitter and some packet loss most 
noticeable in NYC area connections between Level(3) and Comcast.

RE: Comcast NOC Contact

Yeah, I've been hitting congested links with several of my customers. This was 
just a case of one of our customer's prefixes taking an extra long journey from 
one region to another.
Thank you to all who responded! I think we might on our way to remediating this 
small issue!

Comcast NOC Contact

[R W]
