<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone else using Charter Internet have issues with connectivity this morning?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We (AS 10359) have site-to-site VPN tunnels to about 150 customers across the US. We started seeing loss of connectivity to about 20% of them at about 06:25 CST. When we filtered out all advertisements sent/received via Charter, we regained
connectivity to everyone. (We have two ISPs in addition to Charter.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, our total aggregate Internet consumption jumped from about 200 Mbps to 500 Mbps as soon as Charter was taken out of the mix. It looks like a lot of traffic was preferring to come to us via Charter (which is normal) but just
wasn’t making it here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of our engineers waited on hold for Charter for about 20 minutes and then gave up to go get coffee. :-)<o:p></o:p></p>
