What happened to Cogent?

We are seeing the same thing in two of our POPS, San Francisco and Dallas.
Seems to be very sporadic. When we contacted Cogent, they advised that they
were aware of some "issues" but had no further information.

About 20mins ago my connection to Cogent in Cleveland just went totally 
nuts. I can't even get to www.cogentco.com over their circuit:
