SHAW intermittent issues with colwood victoria routing 16 March 2015

have been having some intermittent issues with connectivity to some sites since about 10:25am PST. from the looks of it the issue is isolated to some sites (for example, shaw.ca ) - whilst others (for example Slashdot.org) work fine. looks like there is an issue on one of the hops between dx8cd-te1.vc.shawcable.net [64.59.148.10] and 204.209.208.8 (www.shaw.ca). trying to convince shaw support they are having an issue seems to be more of a problem than it should be ;)
