[outages] Second Bandwidth Outage Sunday

[Peter Beckman]

Again today, on the heels of the 2h 47m DDoS-related outage yesterday, right at
11:01am US EDT (15:01:28 UTC), our monitoring alerted us to another incident at
Bandwidth. The impact to us was much reduced this time, as we saw some flapping
of their SIP Inbound SBCs, but around 15:20:12 UTC it was responsive enough to
fall below our thresholds.

The API started acting up at 14:56:00 UTC, but recovered, and then has been
flapping between OK and degraded since then. As of 21:52 UTC, the API and
Portal/Dashboard are either non-responsive, slow, or degraded.

Inbound Voice Traffic has remaind at expected historical levels throughout.
I have not checked on Termination, but it was working earlier today without
issue.

Latest from BW https://status.bandwidth.com/

     Update - Bandwidth teams have observed expected call behavior for 911
     calls. 911 calls are processing as designed and are fully restored. Teams
     continue to work on standard voice traffic.

I question the phrase "processing as designed" which implies it is not
working as the end user expects... odd.
