[outages] Level3 ICMP Filtering in Chicago?

FWIW:

I've been grepping through the last 4 years of my mail spool archives to
try and find the name/Email of the individual at TeliaSonera who I
communicated with about issues with Telia in the US the last time I
reported issues.

So far I haven't had any luck, which means it might have been something
older than 4 years ago.  Grumble.  :-(
