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

Centurylink Seattle outage?
by William Herrin via Outages 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hi, Has anyone seen any information about the Centurylink fiber Internet outage in Seattle? Apparently I'm part of an area outage in South Seattle that started around 5:30 am PST Sunday. The time to repair slipped from 8 pm Sunday to 5 pm Monday to now 5 pm Tuesday, but they've been tight-lipped about the scope of the outage and its cause. "An outage in your area may be impacting your service. Our team is working to get things back up and running, so if you just scheduled a repair appointment, it shouldn't be necessary, and we'll cancel it." "Our team is working to restore service in your area, and we expect to have repairs finished by Feb 25 2025 at 05:00:00 PM PST. Thank you for your patience as we make the needed repairs. We will update you as soon as we know more."
