Softbank, Japan's 3rd largest mobile carrier having around 25% marketshare in the country, had a major outage today as well.

Ouch. Their status page seems to be overloaded, assuming that is the correct URL.

  Why do so many status pages seem to crash/incorrect report when the service goes down? Once you get on the page: We're really sorry but this system is currently experiencing some technical problems. Our engineers have been notified, so please check back later.

    Because hosting your own status page seems like a fine idea until your service goes down and 1 million people come to figure out what's wrong or even worse, just lose the entire status page along with your infrastructure.

    Best practice is to host the status page on completely separate infrastructure. This adds a lot of operational overhead often seen as disproportionately low benefit relative to the ongoing effort to maintain, until rare events like this actually happen.

        Probably offset by the amount of people who can't access it due to their internet not working haha

    I know SoftBank pretty well from an old job. They do not do ops very well is the minimum I can say on this.

  Loaded eventually for me. Must be getting a huge surge in traffic.

Statistically speaking - yes. I realy want to know what O2 had in mind by saying that.

  The issues are in some of Ericsson network software, and they have other customers apparently. https://www.ericsson.com/en/press-releases/2018/12/update-on-software-issue-impacting-certain-customers?707191720 https://www.ericsson.com/en/press-releases/2018/12/update-on...
