AT&T broadband wireless to Google outages/brownouts?
Hi All,

I wasn't able to connect to any Google sites (Docs, gmail, google.com,
etc.) this weekend that while connected via AT&T's 3G broadband card
here in the SF Bay Area. A colleague with another AT&T card is seeing
the same problems: can't connect to Google but can hit other sites
(Yahoo, craigslist, etc.).

Wondering if there's a peering problem with AT&T somewhere. Anyone have
a clue?

thanks,
sk

Here's a traceroute from someone having problems getting to Google:

Dig tells me that IP belongs to AT&T, but 12/8 told me that anyway.

I can't mtr to that IP, and tracing to Google from Road Runner Tampa Bay
doesn't cross it, but that's unsurprising.

If you're staff at Craigs, you probably carry enough water to look the AT&T
NOC up on Jared's list and let them know that router's blocking Google from
being accessible to their own 3G customers. Including iPhone users.
