Hi there, we've had a few complaints about connectivity
issues to Microsoft, is anyone else seeing a problem? Usually I get
between 2-3MBps when I download from them, at the moment I get 8k/sec
downloading

dcd6bad87/E3SP1ENG.EXE (service pack 1 for exchange 03) from Both my
network, and a monitoring server we have in chicago.
Anyone else seen this?

I am having very poor luck making a successful connection to download.microsoft.com sites as well. When I do, instead of the typical 10mbps, I'm seeing 5kb/sec just as you are. Ping times/traceroutes to them looks normal, so I don't immediately suspect an overloaded link, so I'm not quite sure what the issue is.
Perhaps they were /.-ed (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/08/03/0016223&tid=109&tid=189&tid=1) ?!? 
... sorry, couldn't refrain ...
On a more serious note: do you really mean 2-3 MB(ytes)ps, or 2-3 Mb(its)ps? In any case - FYI - I am getting right now, with the link you indicated below, roughly 120-150 Kbps

I started noticing this exact behavior yesterday afternoon, normally I
am able to pull things from microsoft.com at 500-900KB/s, but I'm down
in the 50-100KB range now.
I've run some traceroutes from my Cox uplink (which appears to be
peering with Microsoft), and nothing seems out of place or 'odd'.

Seeing this from several locations. For all the locations I am looking
from, it appears that their CDN service (Savvis footprint.net) has gone
insane.
From SBC on the west coast, it is going to what looks for all the
world to be a cable modem in Korea:
19 catv09634.usr.hananet.net (210.180.96.34) 292.576 ms 218.396 ms 242.135 ms
From a cable modem in Seattle behind broadwing, it is going to this,
behind SBC in southern California:
16 62 ms 61ms 50 ms Savvis-CDN-IAF1075825.cust-rtr.pacbell.net [69.108.147.58]
From the northern VA area:
7 cdn-colo.Frankfurtfrx.savvis.net (208.174.60.2) 90.626 ms 90.722 ms 90.661 ms
Makes you wonder if they'll be switching back to Akamai soon.
