Akamai, the CDN used by Facebook went down before Facebook for me this morning: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/akamaihd.net http://www.downforeveryoneor

  Seems to be effecting Instagram as well. I assume they both use Akamai then. Was using both when they became unresponsive, resetting routers all over the shop.

  Looking through the customer list, most other sites seem to be working fine: http://www.akamai.com/html/customers/customer_list.html http://www.akamai.com/html/customers/customer_list.html I wonder what makes FB and Instagram different?

    It was specifically fbstatic-b-a.akamaihd.net which was also not responsive, preventing css & js to load rendering a completely broken page on my browser.

    Akamai has several different networks, one for streaming media, one for regular http, and one for https. They also have an S3-like storage system and a DNS service. Some customers are configured with several of these offerings at once, so it's hard to know which, if any, experienced problems and led to the outages. Honestly, I doubt it was an Akamai issue. If Akamai experienced network problems, dozens or hundreds of sites would be affected. If an Akamai config issue (ie human error) were to blame, then it would probably only affect one site, not several. Neither FB nor Akamai is dumb enough to push multiple site changes at once.
