The LINX route collector still sees valid routes through all of our transit
providers, although the choice of some paths is not normal.           

Our peering session with route-views.oregon-ix.net is currently down, which
doesn't bode well :-(  I also cannot reach merit.edu at the moment...

Haven't heard any more - sorry.
