No, but I'm seeing packet loss all over the United States and Europe
for Telia-bound traffic.  Telia's CustomerInfo page claims there's a
fibre cut somewhere around Chicago which is affecting their entire
Internet backbone:

Ticket nr : TT0007793
   Status : Active 
   Starts : 2006-11-06 16:56
Ends/Fixed (est.) : 2006-11-06 19:00 
   Closed :

Description : There is currently stoppage in a number of connections in
Chicago and there can be capacityproblem. 
 
Date/Time Action Log 
2006-11-06 20:39 : Engineers are working to repair fiber-fault. The
fault are causing delays in the USA part of the network. 

The odd thing is, I'm also seeing this affect local California-bound
IP traffic (such as San Jose <-> Fremont).  I'm not sure how an
issue with Level 3 fibre OR an issue with Telia fibre would affect
close-proximity transit like that.
