Is anyone else seeing issues connecting to the different Amazon AWS
products from the east coast via Level3?

I'm very high latency once I hit Amazon's network on Level3 for the last
day and a half:

I've heard from a few other folks that they're experiencing this as well,
but only if they're traversing the Level3 network.

I've tried contacting Amazon and tried going through my own provider but
haven't been able to get anywhere. Can anyone forward this to the
appropriate Amazon/Level3 contacts or provide contact information for
someone that I can relay this information to?
