TWT - Comcast congestion

Wed Dec 1 03:51:45 UTC 2010

While its "pile on Comcast night", I'll add that that the Comcast peers with
Cablevision Lightpath are also a mess in New York, Ashburn and Chicago right
now.  Have been for at least the last hour or two.  According to Cablevision
we were not the first to report it and the feedback I have from them is that
this is an ongoing issue with Comcast over the last week or so.
