#42I 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.

#46Yep. Down for me in Queensland, Australia as well (Facebook and Instagram). It is situations like this that give people a much needed break from social media (myself included). You don't realise just how much of a stranglehold (some more than others) that it has over you until you can't actually use it. Downtime for a site as big as Facebook is rare, but it happens, especially when your infrastructure isn't solely controlled by you (content distribution networks come to mind).

#49Akamai, the CDN used by Facebook went down before Facebook for me this morning: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/akamaihd.net
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.
