With the 2nd graph, I am surprised it is that low given that full scale war is basically ongoing. Was some internet cut off in Israel as a result of the attacks

- bobthepanda 3y agoNo? Every mass disaster results in overwhelming a network as people rush to reach their loved ones and emergency services. 9/11 brought down the landline and mobile networks due to network congestion well before Cloudflare existed. Radio traffic on emergency responder networks was 5x normal, and that is before you consider that a lot of responders were off duty and did not bring their radios. As it is the modern communications networks can hardly handle a planned large event like a music festival. So expecting the Internet to be peachy in an emergency is wishful thinking.

- MattGaiser 3y agoIf anything then, shouldn't there have been a larger spike? Wouldn't this qualify as a reason to override?
- ycm_tmp 3y agoAbsolutely, if you know there's something to check. A lot of people who don't use phones on Sabbath/holidays just didn't know what was happening, or at least not the scale of it.
