[outages] Comcast in Silicon Valley -- Oakland or thereabouts just broke?

Acknowledged.

I'm in Mountain View but you can clearly see where the reconvergence
takes place in the mtrs (between Oakland and SF Sutro, at least from the
forward path).  Naturally I have no way of knowing where the actual
issue is.

I'm sure you know by now most of our (as a customer) packets get sent
either down to San Jose or out of Oakland (and I believe the Oakland
network is something that got rolled out somewhat recently; I remember
seeing it suddenly appear in my mtrs one night not that long ago).

I sent a tweet to @ComcastCares pointing them to this thread.

I also imagine the issue will get worse since it's now 1700 and people
are just starting to get off work...
