FWIW, We saw issues here in Indianapolis between TWTC and L3 up until a few minutes ago.

Using the looking glass from TWtelecom, we saw 30-60min outage (roughly 8:30AM to 9:30AM CST) between the Kansas City 
location and our own server room in Kansas City. Other TWtelecom locations appeared to be unaffected. Perhaps TWtelecom 
is served by Timewarner or shares equipment in KC. Either way, none of our KC customers who were served via TWtelecom 
or Timewarner were able to reach us. Packets would hit Level 3 Communications and die in either direction at the border 
between
L3 and TW. FWIW, TW was showing a good BGP route to us and vise versa.
