Apparently Equifax is down for consumers and businesses.

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

Comcast IP routing issues, Western Chicago Suburbs (fed from West Chicago)
by Nate Burke via Outages 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

Has anyone seen issues in the western Chicago suburbs on Comcast today? At ~1:50am it looks like there was a brief outage, then a route change within the comcast network between 350 cermak and West Chicago (according to PTR data), and all day I've been fielding calls from our VoIP Customers who have comcast business/Home circuits that all seem to go through West Chicago. Some Comcast IP's I can ping from my HE/Zayo circuits, others I cannot, yet some TCP Applications appear to still work to those IP's. Since the route change this morning, UDP Traffic has been randomly getting through. ICMP Between Comcast IP's within west Chicago appears normal. The Customers I've talked to also report sporadic outages/slowness to cloud services. Attempted to contact Cocmast through the normal support channels, but since things are 'mostly' working, haven't gotten anywhere with Tier1 support yet. Happy to provide trace routes as needed, but since it's happening across multiple circuits/IP Blocks didn't want to include random data if it's a known larger issue. We did have High winds last night, so it feels like a fiber is down somewhere, and routing is wonky now.
