Is anyone else seeing intermittently down or very slow access to Google services like YouTube and Google Play Store? We have two upstream providers: one peers with XO and Level3, one with Qwest. When our Google traffic is preferring the route through XO, we see things like YouTube videos not loading, Android devices not able to download updates, Google Play Music not streaming, etc. The main source network we are seeing it from is 206.111.9.XXX which is owned by XO according to whois, but seems to be sourcing Google traffic. I assume they are caching or CDN servers of some type for Google that are hosted at XO. The problem started on Friday as far as we can tell.
We had a similar problem a few weeks ago with Google Images searching. The search result page showed the same thumbnail (a car crash) for anything you searched for. It was again being sourced from the 206.111.9.XXX network. Clicking on the image showed you the proper image, just the thumbnails were wrong. It cleared up in a couple of hours in that case, but the current problem has been going on for a while. Thanks, Jason
