Massive sprintlink problems?

Anyone else seeing this:: (1sec+ delay to my idle DSL line across sprintlink...)

traceroute is definitely taking an asymmetric path, since pings and tcp connections are consistent 1sec plus RTT starting somewhere in seattle or tacoma.....tok? tokyo? Anyway before I start rattling this around I wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this to/from other destinations.

wanted

to see if anyone else is seeing this to/from other destinations.

Sprint Naming Conventions:

      TOK Tokyo, Japan

11 sl-bb21-tac-8-2.sprintlink.net (144.232.19.243)

Why they are sending it through Tokyo is another question....

I'm seeing this on my cable connection too.

According to speakeasy system status page (my DSL provider at the other end there)... It seems though it's rather more widespread than what this notice makes it out to be.

09/26/03 02:18:07 PM Seattle POP Packet Loss

Region : Seattle
E.T.A. : (none)
Services Affected : Some broadband services

We are presently seeing packet loss on one of our Seattle POP�s backhaul circuits caused by an unexpected increase in traffic caused by Internet worms. We will be fully upgrading this POP within the next few months and are presently investigating interim solutions to these packet loss issues.

Judging by traceroutes to livejournal.com, which is hosted at Internap, there are problems with Sprintlink after that hop to Toyko. I'm now hitting Verio instead.
