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

Comcast Routing Issues - Connecticut
by Blake Mckeeby 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Anyone else seeing issues with traffic routing from Comcast Business customers in Connecticut? We see that ~50% of RTP flows experience 100% packet loss while the other 50% of flows result in no packet loss. The issue is certainly in the direction of traffic sent from Comcast Business Customers towards the internet but may also be in the reverse direction as well. The MTRs below show the path *towards *the affected Comcast Business customers. Note all are hung off of Newark -> Hartford.
