There is a large fiber cut in the area (somewhere between Dallas and 
Houston), affecting a lot of capacity coming out of Dallas on several 
carriers (including GX and Qwest at the very least). Two of our OC48s on 
this path have been down since around 14:57 UTC.

That said, this isn't the proper place to whine about congestion. Normally 
I would say that is what customer support numbers are for, but since there 
is nothing they can do to splice it any faster, I'm going to recommend a 
healthy dose of suck it up and deal. :)
