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

Looking through the customer list, most other sites seem to be working fine: 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.

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.

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

It wasn't stated that that was the first thing he tried. I've experienced router/modem issues where only certain sites were inaccessible until one or both pieces of equipment were restarted. I'd be interested in knowing exactly what happens to a router's software to make that happen.
