Seattle / Qwest network fail

So we seem to be currently in the middle of a network outage ("Seattle area" and "Qwest CLEC circuits" almost certainly includes me and there isn't any other good explanation for why I haven't been able to ping anyone in the outside world despite having power-cycled the modem twice now).

It seems to have started sometime before 11:20am PDT this morning, still ongoing as of this post (1:20pm), and no ETA for resolution. More on this story as it develops. Or you can just watch this page yourself for updates.

Update: (5:45pm PDT) and... we're back. Bleah.
