Telia users having trouble connecting to AfterDawn

Telia users having trouble connecting to AfterDawn Users of Telia, a major ISP in Nordic, have been having hard time getting to AfterDawn during the last 48 hours. The reason behind this is apparently a fight between Telia and another telecom giant, Cogent who haven't managed to find a way to resolve an issue over so-called "peering" between their networks.

Anyway, basically now a big portion of Swedish and Finnish users (basically all users of Sonera and Telia networks and users of other ISPs who use Telia as their route to the U.S.) are unable to access AfterDawn.com and several other sites located in the United States. Most likely these companies will soon find an agreement over the peering costs, but meanwhile, there's very little what we or anybody else can do about the situation. Apologies for those who are currently affected by this idiocy.
