More evidence that CenturyLink is broken
Seems like the random 1 minute drop outs are extending up to 2 minutes or more in some cases. Not only from what I see from SDO, but also on links between two CL servers (the Cloudflare LA server and a DigitalOcean server), and between my webserver in Pittsburgh and Twitter.
Also, just a thought, but the dropouts may feasibly be responsible for the spate of dropped calls I see being reported due to the link timing out.
Even more evidence:
Recently moved the bot off my server (with the 2-hops over CenturyLink) to the server/site it's supposed to operate on in Germany... Since I did that, zero timeout errors to Twitter.
Only problem is that for some dumb reason 1&1/ionos don't have traceroute installed on that box. This isn't the stupidest thing they've ever done (they use X-Forward IPs as the incoming IP, so you can't filter non-Cloudflare IPs, causing me big headaches), but it keeps me from seeing what path is actually being taken.
I think CL is going to break down even more in the coming weeks....
