I restarted my modem and router two times before I realized that the network was fine and that it was just Facebook that was down. Props to their ops team for uptime that is so reliable.

I haven't seen Facebook go down in years. I wonder if this is going to be a big deal .

Facebook went down less than a year ago for a couple hours.

How much revenue are they losing every second?

$7.87 billion in 2013 / 365 days / 24 hours / 60 minutes / 60 seconds is about $250 a second. Edit: using more up to date data: $3,300,000,000 in the 3rd quarter of 2014 / (365/4) / 24 / 60 / 60 = $418.58

$1.5M an hour!!!

But considering this is not the peak time in North America, it's should be little less.

Restarting your modem is step 1 in troubleshooting internet connectivity problems when Facebook is down?
