For those that are not aware, Level-3 vilolated its inplace
agreements, and blocked all peering connections from Cogent
communications yesterday (October 5th), and rumor has it that they
are also now blocking all Cogent assigned IP ranges, so that routing
diverse paths won't be effective. Not much I can say about peering
disputes, but blocking IPs without cause (meaning violation of AUP)
is crossing the line, and clearly anti-competitive and a law sute
soon to happen.
Level3 VOIP provider just lost our business over this one. Can't
risk using a provider that demonstrates such practices.
If using Level3 for servers, call to complain, because otherwise you
are going to have lots of unsatisfied customers that can't get to the
servers that reside on the Cogent network. Level 3 is doing the
blocking.
For those of you using Level3 and looking to become multi-homed, nows
the chance to save. Cogent is offering FREE one years transit
service at the same capacity as the level 3 connection.
