Our services were restored yesterday afternoon. 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. |
