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

Good in Alabama. I read somewhere it was esim devices.

Date: Sat, Aug 30, 2025 6:12 PM This outage isn't affecting all lines of service in the same way. You can have two Verizon phones right next to each other, one will be denied access when trying to attach to Verizon's wireless network completely and will display SOS Only or No Service while the other works as normal. Additionally, one of my lines can attach to Verizon's 4G LTE network just fine but gets rejected from attaching to their 5G NR standalone network. I am traveling at the moment and unfortunately do not have a Verizon-compatible phone with me that is capable of displaying signaling traces from its baseband. If I did, I could at least see at which stage of connecting to the network things are failing at as well as any cause code sent in the network's rejection or failure message. -Rusty On Sat, Aug 30, 2025 at 5:04 PM Josh Luthman via Outages <outages(a)outages.org> wrote: > > Mines been working all day outside Pittsburgh.

I've heard from more than one source of Cogent issues. No geographic area defined, but everyone talking about it is North American centric. h/t Chris G the links: https://statusgator.com/services/cogent/network https://downdetector.com/status/cogent/ ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP

Frontier Issue for fiber in Thousand Oaks
by William Kern 09 Aug '25

09 Aug '25

My home FIOS is up but one of our FTR Fiber links is down at the DC. No ALARM on the interface. So when you call or go to the WebSiste you get to talk to a bot Their AI Support Chatbot indicates its a 'known' issue and they were working on it. Interestingly a couple customers are reporting phone issues on their frontier VOIP service. Not sure if that is related. Sincerely, William Kern PixelGate Network
