Our cogent support rep said there's an outage.

"We are currently experiencing an outage on our network. We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Please check http://status.cogentco.com for updates on this event."

People were getting 503 errors, which indicates it’s something within Slack’s own infrastructure. Granted, external network issues can trigger internal problems, but I wouldn’t be pinning this on Cogent just yet.
