I'm a business service subscriber, and am noticing the same thing. It seems
particularly common right after midnight (my prime time!) and usually will
happen once or twice for a few minutes, then settle down. I'll notice that
traceroutes die after the 2nd hop, then I can get further but not reach the
DNS server for a few minutes. Then it all magically clears up. I've not had
it become unusable, but have dropped a few connections when it happens.
When I called tech support, they confirmed that they are still doing work,
and that this is a known issue. It's just often enough to be annoying. I get
the sense that they're actively working the issue, so I'm willing to be
patient.
