I always wonder if there's easy way to know where current global internet interruptions are, anyone know? In this case it apparently was Telia [1] but how do you figure that out? Top Google results for 'global internet status' aren't really usable.

- niftich 10y agoRealistically, this isn't solvable due to information asymmetry. Any one company only knows if their services are up, but doesn't really know what's going on upstream or downstream of them. That's why tracing an incident like this takes time, and most people blame the wrong party at first until the true cause is found. But Twitter has become the de facto platform where you announce stuff to people, or shout into the ether saying 'is Cloudflare down?' Signal-to-noise ratio isn't even that low -- most baseline chatter is noise, but there should be a MASSIVE, near-simultaneous spike when a high-profile site goes down.
