Apparently Equifax is down for consumers and businesses.
by Chapman, Brad (NBCUniversal) 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

I was ordering fiber optic internet from Frontier Communications—my doctor said I should consume more fiber—but their system said my credit check failed and was demanding an equipment deposit. I pushed back. They ran it three times. Then they got word in a group chat that Equifax’s consumer and business portals are down, so they can’t process any credit checks. Woe be unto you if you work in finance or support a business that depends on this service. I hope they didn’t have another breach. Maybe they will need a tiny excavator to dig them out of this mess like that freighter stuck in the Suez canal<https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/mcw8og/new_pictures_f…> for the last two days... Cheers, Brad

DC Region Verizon FiOS Outage Event 29-April 18:30
by Cary Wiedemann 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

There was just a massive DC region Verizon FiOS backbone routing failure starting at 6:27pm EST and running for ~11 minutes. All paths were impacted but some were more loss prone than others. Here's a loss/latency graph to Google's local anycasted 8.8.8.8 resolver: [image: image.png] vs a graph to Cogent: [image: image.png] vs one to Azure: [image: image.png] MTR graphs show major loss down every path that touches one of Verizon's " ALTER.NET" named routers. Really just sending this one in because the footprint was massive. I'm used to smaller DC-region path failures, but this impacted nearly every path for nearly every FiOS user in DC and the close-in Virginia and Maryland suburbs. This was far worse than their usual routing hiccups. - Cary

Cogent Fiber Cut Birmingham?
by richey goldberg 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Does anyone know about a Cogent fiber cut in Birmingham, AL? We have a customer who’s been down for 30+ hours and Cogent has given us a run around. Their updates have been conflicting. We have someone asking for updates every 4-5 hours and every update is different from the last. Sometimes they tell us it’s fixed (when it’s not) then they tell us it’s being spliced, then they tell us a crew is in route. They are all just random responses. After 30+ hours I can’t imagine what they are doing that they have been on site splicing this long. They can’t tell us where it is other than it’s a a 3rd party vendor they are relying on. Does anyone have some insight on what’s really going on? -richey

I can't seem to log in to the app. There's no status page or downdetector.com page. The OnStar website is also having issues, and downdetector.com for OnStar is showing heightened reports. I imagine that for those affected, it's across all GM vehicles. https://downdetector.com/status/onstar/

ATT Issues?
by Jim O'Brien 26 Apr '22

26 Apr '22

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone else in the northeast is seeing data issues on ATT Wireless in MA / New England? On LTE I'm not getting good performance for anything using IP data. Sending messages using iMessage is failing. When I use the myATT app to attempt to see what's going on the pages fail to load properly. Thanks, Jim _______________________________ Jim O'Brien Alianza - Vice President Server Engineering Northeastern - Adjunct Faculty Wentworth - Adjunct Faculty
