At present we aren't seeing (or at least hearing about) issues.
However, over the last 6 months we've had about 10 different instances
where connectivity specifically between Comcast and GBLX has had extreme
problems.
We ended up changing all our Comcast traffic to other providers, but
unfortunately, Comcast still seemed to heavily prefer GBLX for our
inbound, and it didn't resolve the problem. Ultimately, we had to stop
announcing prefixes to GBLX to get Comcast to use another inbound path
and all problems ceased.

Based on reports from customers on both sides of the US, we're thinking
that Global Crossing is experiencing performance problems. Ingress
points into GBLX from Comcast in the east and GoDaddy in the west are
both showing significant packet loss and higher latencies. A quick look
at Keynote:

shows that GBLX looks a little uglier than the others for the past 24
hours. Admittedly, I'm not sure if the GBLX stats always look like
this. :-)
Is anyone else seeing similar problems? We're waiting for something
from GBLX now. If we get anything definitive that we are free to pass
along I will do so.
