Some communications failures world-wide. This 4 minute video includes a scroll through a list of numerous large websites experiencing problems today, however there isn't an indication how serious each of the outtages is or which ones resolved on the list.
When the video was made at around 8 am this morning, Amazon.com was down, as were large companies like Netflix and Verizon. I just checked downdetector.com and there was a spike of outtage at 8 am and another at 11 with certain areas still experiencing outtages.
Below, an image and link to the youtube video.

“People worldwide were reporting having trouble connecting to internet services Sunday morning.
CenturyLink’s core network crashed at 6 a.m. A couple hours later, CenturyLink tweeted that the outage has been restored.
“We understand how important these services are to our customers, and we sincerely apologize for the impact this outage caused,” the tweet said at 11 a.m.
There could still be issues connecting to the internet after IT teams restored access.
Internet experts posted on social media that the outage was experienced all across the world.
Even though you may not have CenturyLink internet, locations you may be trying to get to — like video streaming services — could be inaccessible or slow Sunday morning.
You could also see the service load and then crash.
It is unclear what the cause of it is, and what the impact of this crash is.”
The internet is suppose to be able to survive a nuclear war but some guy trips over a network cable and BOOM! there is a big outage.
century link had a nation wide outage earlier today
Be sure to put your generator in the cage with you and stock up on a few years worth of fuel for it
I couldn’t get in to FR earlier. My phone is ATT. WiFi is Frontier
I was getting a stutter in the soundtracks of vids I tried to stream yesterday on the Roku, but attributed it to the recent rain (the string gets wet).
Maybe Biden was right and we need to get back to our record players.
“Nope, it was Centurylink“
That’s nothing new.
I wanted to post IBTLZ but I was too late.
1.87M subscribers at that channel!
looks like official LZ youtube site, it links to https://www.ledzeppelin.com/
Yet we are fine here, so it is not a natural event in my opinion.
Likely some one hose up some BGP routes in the Sunday morning matainace window
