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

Big Microsoft Outage, via ZDnet Thu AM
by Jay R. Ashworth via Outages 23 May '24

23 May '24

""" An apparent Microsoft outage has impacted a slew of services, including Bing, the company's artificial intelligence assistant Copilot, ChatGPT, and more. Several Bing users reported earlier on Thursday that the company's Bing search engine was down. Those users also reported that they were having trouble using Microsoft's Copilot and ChatGPT's internet search. Microsoft has invested billions of dollars into OpenAI and the ChatGPT maker also uses Microsoft's infrastructure. The private search engine DuckDuckGo, which isn't owned by Microsoft but uses the Bing API, has also been affected. """ https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-massive-microsoft-outage-is-impacting-bing-… Makes me nervous that DuckDuck is included. Nice that they clarified. The story does note further down that this outage is already in recovery phase... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

Started getting alerts this morning at ~ 4:30a EDT. This is my home/residential connection. Some things seem to work, some don’t. Seems like peering with other ASes further out is wonky.

Google Fiber / WebPass in MIA
by Mark Felder via Outages 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hello, GFiber in an office and in a residential unit nearby are having some pretty severe network reliability issues. I'm observing a ton of TCP retransmissions and duplicate ACKs, but it seems to depend on the destination. VPNs don't improve reliability. Ingress traffic is most impacted. I keep finding AS1299 62.115.0.0/16 which is allegedly in Sweden in my traceroutes to affected destinations that are in the USA. Wondering if the latency and issues are being caused by a routing issue... Trying to raise this with support but having issues getting into my account right now.

Frontier PON Tampa Bay is having widespread outages
by Bryan Fields via Outages 07 May '24

Pinellas County is mostly offline from what I'm seeing (4 sites across the county), unsure about Tampa. Their phone system confirms this and appears to be overloaded. The outages website they say to visit doesn't work :-) -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages(a)outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
