Yes; same symptoms.

Coming from Canada; path to 192.95.37.62 is via direct peering with 16276 
at The SIX.  We had previously pref'd our path to 167.114.0.0/16 to head 
through our own backbone and out in Toronto because of performance issues 
reaching something in that block from out this side if doing hot potato via 
the SIX.
