Two major internet backbone companies are feuding, potentially cutting off significant swaths of the internet for some of each other’s customers.

On Wednesday, network company Level 3 Communications cut off its direct “peering” connections to another big network company called Cogent Communications. That technical action means that some customers on each company’s network now will find it impossible, or slower, to get to websites on the other company’s network.
