Centurylink having a bad morning?

One anomaly I’ve just notice: we can’t reach 209.244.0.1 (ns1.level3.com) from anywhere on the Internet, including our CL connections. Traceroute fails at 4.16.30.129 (lag-101.ear2.LosAngeles1.Level3.net) with 65% packet loss:

Can't get to pretty much anything on the Internet from my Tmobile device... not really sure whats going on =)

One of my legacy L3 peers is only advertising 498174 prefixes. Very strange.

Yikes, they really need to get their reflectors fixed so that we can dis-engage from them.

My systems dropped CL about 03 this morning. Appears that a correction has been applied as I am seeing more normal traffic from CL. Still no access to their portal and the phone is a mess.
