[nmglug] [PSA] There was a CL outage this morning

[ABQLUG]

Early this morning there was a CenturyLink nation wide outage. Service 
started restoring around ~8:00 am. Although not everyone has come back 
up yet.

Hopefully this will save you some time if you were calling your ISP to 
see what was wrong.

This sub-reddit has been really handy for having information on outages 
of this scale. They often will have information than CenturyLink can 
provide over the phone:

Here is another handy link to see if CenturyLink is having current 
network issues:

Looks like a routing mistake (probably an automated one since it was 
early in the morning) was to blame.
