Widespread internet outages in the entire SF Bay Area

  Same issues here in Cupertino. Surprisingly my phone refused to work on just cellular data, despite using a different provider for that (AT&T). I'm pretty confused.

  Per Down Detector, it is mostly Xfinity: https://downdetector.com/status/xfinity/ https://downdetector.com/status/xfinity/ Cell networks in San Francisco are overloading. EDIT: Starting to come back now.

    Why are cell networks overloading? How many people have WiFi-only phone plans or plans that fall back to Comcast WiFi?

      Everyone who was using WiFi to watch Netflix before bed has switched to their phone.

  Here in Menlo Park, Comcast was down but just came back up. AT&T Fiber remained up with full gigabit speed, but slow ping times to some servers (notably BayNIC in Fremont - which now seems back to normal). T-Mobile remained up somewhat reduced speed which now seems back to normal. Update: Comcast has gone up and down once or twice more for a few minutes each, but seems to be back again. Google must have been hit too: Gmail and Google Drive were intermittently failing to load, even though HN was loading fine, and regardless of which of the carriers I connected through.
