Google 'down,' let's do an experiment

ynniv · on July 10, 2013

Very high (and increasing) hourly packet loss on some of the backbones. They are probably fully down and the percentage is increasing as the rolling hourly window includes more of the outage.

   NTT <-> Verizon (9.09% @ 10:20)
   SBC <-> Level3  (8.33% @ 10:20)
   ATT <-> Verizon (4.00% @ 10:20)

A traceroute earlier showed no network issues. I should have done a pathping to have something to compare with.

Back up for me. Comcast support was a JOKE.

joshlegs · on July 10, 2013

Yeah it's back up for me now too. CNN had an article on it, funnily enough. They are headquartered in Atlanta though so they probably all got hit with the outage. Seems the southeast and comcast users were hit hardest

K, so this may be important. There are power outages around Charleston, SC, the location of a large Google data center. That could be the source of the downtime for Southeastern users.

It's starting to look like East Coast USA. I'm talking to a few people outside of EST that are still able to access every service.
