    Yep. I am having lots of problems to reach some US sites right now from Germany. Sucks big time... Is there any link to the Telia outage?

  • berkayberkay Member

    Yep, happened here also

  • m1awm1aw Member

    I was wondering the same, it was affecting a lot of European websites, even League of Legends EU Server were affected.

    Is that why I wasn't able to access LET the last few hrs?

    Same thing, yep. I had 524's from CloudFlare indicating that their requests to LET from their London PoP timed out.

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    There is no official announcement at the moment. It's still very new.

    10,000 crappy lowend hosts now have an excuse for the next 24-48 hours.

    Customer: "My VPS was down for four hours."

    Low End Host: "Downtime? Oh that was caused by the transatlantic cable outage. Here's a link to the news."

    Customer: "But you're in Buffalo and I'm in Kansas."

    Low End Host: "Um...well...i'ts due to, um, redundant geo-routing and our, ah, GRE ipv6 anti-latency protocols..."

    Customer: "So do I get a credit?"

    Low End Host: "Sorry, Act of God."

    Yeah I noticed.

  • rds100rds100 Member

    So was really a transatlatic cable cut, or was it just some other Telia screwup (equipment, etc.). If it was a cable cut i would expect a much larger impact, not just Telia.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    Interesting indeed, especially given how quickly they got back up and going. I bet it was a software/hardware issue and not anything having to do with the physical link.

    Is that from CloudFlare?

  • If that line where to break, there'd be a lot of issues, including downtime, that would probably stretch for more than a few hours (not including traffic rerouting).

    I dont think so, most people today are multihomed and many even have automatic failover, outages should be short, in most cases not even visible. However, that is in theory, in fact, things are much different, but it does not mean that outages HAD to be big in order to the story to have credibility.

  • from the link @athomashowe posted

    It was a scheduled job that went a bit wrong, says Bo Djurberg, manager at Telia

    Did this affect Turkey as well? I couldn't reach some sites like Stack Exchange, yesterday around 23:00 (Istanbul time)
