Westin Seattle Outage?

We just saw one of our gig-e circuits to the Westin bounce
three 
times and another just go flatline in the past hour. On hold
for a 
couple of NOCs at the moment trying to figure out wtf is
going on. 
Anyone have solid info?

Answering my own question I know, but the OnFiber/Qwest guys
I spoke 
to informed me that they heard the Westin had some sort of
backup 
power scheduled maintenance go wrong. That was the 3
bouncer. I still 
wouldn't mind independent verification of that.


The flatliner was XO, and it seems that it may not even
touch the 
Westin (instead goes to 1000 Denny.) I still don't know what
happened 
there. It did come back after 86 minutes of eerie silence.
Anyone 
else with XO circuits see anything odd tonight?

Note to XO NOC: Your hold music is *awful* and on a way too
short 
loop. It is bad enough when it is bad music, but to hear it
over and 
over and over... for well over an hour, is customer
torture.

Our Minneapolis BGP session to XO dropped at Jan 26 23:08:03
CST (21:08 
PST) for 52 minutes.  A colo customer in a second XO
facility in 
Minneapolis appeared to be unreachable for the same period. 
The 
reported cause was a problem during planned maintenance,
requiring 
reboot of multiple routers.  I was wondering whether XO
might have hit 
a snag while responding to the Cisco advisory.  If your XO
link doesn't 
touch Westin, then perhaps the timing was coincidence?
