Goofle/Sprint having problems?

My offices that use Sprint are having timeouts and major slowdowns to
www.google.com

Traceroute shows it going through reach.com and that is where the
slowdown is occurring.
See hop 11 below.

Looks like Akamai thinks you are in Singapore and points you to
singapore-located google instance..:wink:

Correction...Seems that Singtel has leaked Google IPs to Reach and then to
CWHKT.
