We have monitored traffic for the last day, and can report that all Level(3) connections have returned to normal.

What is Happening?

Many have reported to OIT that they have experienced slow access to the Internet and business systems. It seems that one of our network vendors, Level(3) is experiencing outages in our geographic area. This has led to the slowness of accessing systems and the Internet over Level(3) circuits.
