Yep, Cloudflare and Digital Ocean are also having issues
Yeah got hit by 522 error messages.
Yep. I am having lots of problems to reach some US sites right now from Germany. Sucks big time... Is there any link to the Telia outage?
Yep, happened here also
I was wondering the same, it was affecting a lot of European websites, even League of Legends EU Server were affected.
Twitter mobile app is not loading images correctly either.
Yarp, fuxxored here. Stopped me from locking up that scav's thread for about an hour :-/
rumor has it a shark bit the cable, was said by @Jack so can't confirm !
Haha.
Is that why I wasn't able to access LET the last few hrs?
Same thing, yep. I had 524's from CloudFlare indicating that their requests to LET from their London PoP timed out.
Yeah same with me here from Germany. It used Amsterdam though
Hah, one shark causes an outage for millions. What do ya' know.
This was a marketing stunt for the new Godzilla film.
Source?
Bloke down the pub.
21:42 BST - 4/6 European Cloudflare datacentres are currently offline.
21:49 BST - It has been reported that Telia's transatlantic cable is down.
21:51 BST - Cloudflare confirm that Telia's cable has been cut.
21:56 BST - Traffic now being rerouted.
There is no official announcement at the moment. It's still very new.
HackerNews isn't a bad place to keep up to date on it... assuming that's the thread that takes off.
Illuminati
10,000 crappy lowend hosts now have an excuse for the next 24-48 hours.
Customer: "My VPS was down for four hours."
Low End Host: "Downtime? Oh that was caused by the transatlantic cable outage. Here's a link to the news."
Customer: "But you're in Buffalo and I'm in Kansas."
Low End Host: "Um...well...i'ts due to, um, redundant geo-routing and our, ah, GRE ipv6 anti-latency protocols..."
Customer: "So do I get a credit?"
Low End Host: "Sorry, Act of God."
nLayer is also having bad issues in Atlanta. Not a good day.
Yeah I noticed.
So was really a transatlatic cable cut, or was it just some other Telia screwup (equipment, etc.). If it was a cable cut i would expect a much larger impact, not just Telia.
Interesting indeed, especially given how quickly they got back up and going. I bet it was a software/hardware issue and not anything having to do with the physical link.
Is that from CloudFlare?
If that line where to break, there'd be a lot of issues, including downtime, that would probably stretch for more than a few hours (not including traffic rerouting).
I dont think so, most people today are multihomed and many even have automatic failover, outages should be short, in most cases not even visible. However, that is in theory, in fact, things are much different, but it does not mean that outages HAD to be big in order to the story to have credibility.
from the link @athomashowe posted
Did this affect Turkey as well? I couldn't reach some sites like Stack Exchange, yesterday around 23:00 (Istanbul time)
