#32Honestly, at this point I've found HN to be the best "Status Page" for this sort of thing. I came here first when I found issues and fiddling around with my custom DNS lookup hierarchy didn't help.
FiOS customer in DC Metro.

#33I am experiencing connectivity issues on Fios outside of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.
edit: as of 13:20 (GMT-5) it appears to be resolved.

#34Fios outside Baltimore and yeah it's screwed currently.
Re: East Coast Internet Outage
#35My corporate laptop is affected. My roommate’s corporate laptop is totally unaffected. We’re on the same router/gateway. Any theories out there to explain this phenomenon? Fascinating. (My theory is a network partition, where my roommate’s IP addresses happen to be in regions that are on “our side” of the partition, whereas my IP Addresses are on the “other”, unreachable side).
I didn't do any digging but it seems like once you have a connection established, it's not too bad. Is your roommate on a full-tunnel VPN?

Are you using different DNS servers? My work laptop was using 8.8.8.8 and is getting name resolution errors, but my personal computer is using 1.1.1.1 and working fine.
Interestingly enough, they’re both deferring DNS to our router, and the router is configured to use DNS servers dynamically provided by the ISP.

#37https://twitter.com/VerizonSupport/status/135410988957298278... There is a fiber cut in Brooklyn. We have no ETR, as of yet. You can use the MY Fios app for updates. *EAG
Does a cut cable in BK account for outages up and down the east coast?
Re: East Coast Internet Outage
#38Yep. Second day of classes at George Mason University in Fairfax and no one can connect to Zoom or Blackboard meetings. I'm on FiOS as well.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that question. However, this is the only Twitter comment that mentions this on their page, and I don't have access to a Verizon account to verify their outage status memo. We had a flurry of employees saying their connections were going haywire to the business and this is the only thing I've been able to gather outside of downdetector.

This is speculation, of course, but: there are several large Internet Exchanges in NYC, and US/EU peering points. It's probable that a fiber cut could have cut several other links, and the failover links are now completely overwhelmed.
