Sounds like it was scheduled maintenance gone bad:
	"Perrine said he spoke with CenturyLink at 6 a.m. 
	where they advised him the company was doing scheduled
	maintenance. At 7:35 a.m. they told him something
	had gone wrong during the maintenance and it was
	affecting customers in 13 states."

I bite my tongue in regards to Network Tallahasee's singlehomedness and
Perrine's comment on his questioning of the timing of the update. 

I encourage all my competitors to stay single homed and to do their
maintenance Sunday morning, while their vendors are at their lowest staffing
levels.

I first saw timeouts with www.qwest.com over IPv6 at 3:08 am Central -- I
was wondering why, now I know. =)

Saw our Centurylink Ethernet circuit lose L3 connectivity in SWFL around
0400 EDT. 
ANS/ABS states it's a nationwide routing issue. No ETR.
