Severe Response Degradation

I have waited 24 hours before posting this and after many updates I believe
this too be multi-vendor and operational enough for nanog.

Many people have been seeing high response times (200-500ms) when packets
route through an @Home 172.16.6 router I believe is at PAIX in Northern
California. According to the @Home noc this is a tier 4 issue with their
helpdesk and is bandwidth related. But instead of your normal saturation
issue the help desk is telling me that the problem is related to a network
routing storm coming from Sprint Net's network's and affect's many of the
Sprint Net peers in PAIX. I have been unable to confirm this with Sprint and
was hoping others on the list could help confirm this issue and it's actual
reach and/or impact.
