Routing issues Washington DC area

Sun May 8 02:11:36 UTC 2005

Hi All,

Not sure where the problem is at but several packets are being dropped
to several different hosts from the DC area. (This is not the Google
DNS problem)
I tried connecting to several different known sites with roughly 40%
being unresponsive from two seperate ISPs (Speakeasy and Comcast.)

Traceroute to sans.org via Comcast:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Traceroute via Speakeasy would timeout.

Same thing goes for other sites
ubuntulinux.org
www.osvdb.org  for example.

Anyone else having similar problems?
