I contacted XO to find out what happened and they claimed that Verizon's link to VOIP carriers went down due to a software issue.

I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Business VOIP is taking off and the need to strengthen the backbones and peering between networks is another challenge the big backbone carriers have to address. I wouldn't be surprise that in order to improve it's own services and the connectivity to other networks, Verizon performed an upgrade to their hardware and or routing software and something went wrong. AT&T had a similar occurrence on their Frame Relay network a decade ago.

That said, I've yet to see any reporting on this other than on this site. And I've looked.

Any additional information would be valuable.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17239815 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 14:36:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17234929 anon : We are in a verizon area.. Bothell,Wa north of HWY405.
I heard from our local XO rep that a "Verizon" link in Indiana was down..?? And that some other carriers were affected also..like Cingular, Tmobile and Verizon. can anyone confirm this?
Why is there not a backup or route around the issue????

We have had good service from XO until yesterday. 5+ years of bundled services.
It is like pulling teeth to get a straight answer to Where, when, and WHY!? :(
PS: I find it hard to beleive I have only found this site and a brief note on a smalll news site about the issue affecting so many people... post your links to other news..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17234929 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 18:46:02 EDT
