How long has it been down this time?
Down in Southern California.
7:15pm: Down West Palm
They’re just making a another practice run for the morning of the 20th of January. /adjusting my tinfoil hat
Can not open here in Japan.
Yep, I got back on for a minute, then it went out again.
Someone is messing with Matt.
And US.
FR is acting flakey too.
It may be the US...administration ;(
Welcome to the new internet now that control is not longer held by the United States. Thanks Obama.
Giving away control of internet is risky for U.S.
Still down in southern Indiana (greater Louisville area) as of 7:25pm.
The internet may never be the same after Sept. 30.
Big changes are coming that threaten its security, stability and openness. The United States has always controlled how the internet functions but, under a plan backed by President Barack Obama, next month it will abdicate control to a multi-stakeholder international governing body.
It’s a big deal, but it’s complicated.
Let me explain: To reach a website or person on the internet, you must give your computer a destination — usually entered as a name or number. That destination has to be unique so computers know where to find each other. Humans prefer to find web and email addresses by name, such as google.com. But computers know each other by numbers, or Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
Down in Phoenix, too.
It’s down here in Moscow.....
Is there anything we can do to regain control with Trump?
LOL and it just came back up in Phoenix but it sure took awhile to load.
North Central Indiana. Comcast. 7:50 PM, Tuesday evening. Very slow in loading.
I have no idea on that one.
Seems to be down in some places but not others.

Welcome...Oh I have been in this new internet for a while :(
Ironic that you would post this to me...well at any rate, it is “small worldish.” I posted more than 2 dozen threads/articles about the internet transfer...as well as the mass DOS outages earlier in the fall.
Several of us Freepers were pretty vocal about trying to stop the transfer from happening. People called reps & Senators, tweeted, emailed, etc. to try to stop this, but to no avail.
I agree with you giving away control is risky business for US! We certainly are going to have problems with the internet going forward; however, Drudge stated earlier this week that when he had DDoS attacks earlier this week, he believed it was OUR government behind them.
I am not surprised :(
Up in Michigan. Had trouble earlier.
