If you are using Linode or thinking about using them. Please beware of 
the below. They apparently have no interest in fixing this. You can 
judge "rare" for you self using http://status.linode.com

Hello,

In each of our datacenters, we only peer with the datacenter provider's 
network and rely on their peering with other network service providers. 
Because of this, we are unable to directly route traffic around issues 
ourselves and must rely on our datacenter providers to do so.

As soon as we noticed today's issue, we contacted our Atlanta datacenter 
provider and they notified us that they were already working on 
resolving the problem with the bad peer. Establishing that line of 
communication is always our top priority so that we can communicate this 
to our customers via our status blog and any opened support tickets.

I do understand that you are frustrated and I greatly apologize for the 
downtime you experienced. This type of partial outage is rare and we 
always put in our hardest effort to resolve them as soon as we can.

If you have any other questions or need any other assistance, please do 
not hesitate to let us know.

Regards,
Nick
