[outages] Cogent peering issues in Chicago?

[Tim Huffman]

We are seeing the same issues with customer VPN/VOIP traffic having issues traversing to Verizon through Cogent. Here's what appears to be their canned response.

"Dear Cogent Customer,

The latency and/or packet loss that you are experiencing to this destination is due to occasional high traffic with Verizon. Our peering engineers are actively working with Verizon to address this as quickly as possible."

Anybody heard any more details, or an ETA?

There was an issue with Bell (AS577) to Cogent in Chicago yesterday as
well (~ 14:15 to 17:20 GMT-4). I had a ticket open with Cogent and they
told me the issue was on Bell's side.  Not sure where the issue was
ultimately.

We're a cloud software provider with 1000+ clients nationwide, and the issue cropped up again on Friday afternoon for clients in Colorado and locations west.  Cogent said it was an unresolved peering issue with Qwest.  Anyone else?
