Internet Outage(s)?

[JSngry]

Hey global citizens, what's been up with your internet within the last 1-2 hours? Ours here, we couldn't get but 1-2 sites to connect. Rebooted all modems/routers/devices and still nothing until about 15-20 minutes ago, when sites started loading, not all at once, and not fully immediately, but now all favorites are back, including this one. But before that, nothing except my very local email server. Nothing.

Was this just a local/regional thing, or did it happens where you are as well?

No issues here today.

Looks like it's a Frontier thing: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/tech/internet-provider-frontier-experiencing-outages/2360031/

No it didn't happen here in Europe. But today and for the last days I've observed that your site is a bit slow in loading. But it loads eventually.

To the entire continent?

No outage or loading problems here (Netherlands).

My modem appears to have died today. It was working this morning and then about 5 hours ago - nothing. I am logged onto my neighbor's router now. The big pain is that I bought my own router to save on the monthly rental so now the cable company is saying they can't do anything. If I buy a new cable modem/router and it doesn't work, they probably still won't send anyone out to check my wires because they'll continue to claim that it's my equipment.

All fine in Germany.

No issues around here (New Jersey). 

[JSngry]

Yeah, seems to be a Frontier-only thing. Frontier has been rumored for a few months now to be on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. apparently their deal with Verizon hasn't been the cash crop they had hoped for...

All good in Buffalo.

We had land lines and cellular with Verizon in Michigan and then they unloaded the "land line biz" to Frontier. Things started heading south then.

[JSngry]

Yeah, they did that here, unleaded the land line biz, but they also threw in the FIOS operation. I love FIOS, don't think I'd want anything other than fiber, but great performance and an unstable business supporting it aren't exactly complimentary dynamics...

My internet mysteriously just came back on. No idea what was going on but it was clearly Spectrum and not my modem, as they were trying to tell me.
