🚀 New on @isoc-pulse.bsky.social — I analyzed 3.5 years of Starlink IP geolocation data. From Gaza to Mars, the results reveal how this network has expanded (and surprised me) around the world.

Following a platform-wide outage in November 2022, #Starlink published a significantly different IP geolocation file, which included for the planet Mars: 98.97.73.224/27,XX,XX-XY,Mars Learn more in @eldomador.bsky.social's latest post pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/blast-o...

It's corn maze season 🎃

The internet restoration in Tanzania was short-lived. After 1.5 hours, internet service went down again.

On Oct 29 2025, Azure Front Door suffered a large outage that rippled across Microsoft’s global cloud. It started with a bad configuration push. Using the newly published Preliminary Post Incident Review, let's discuss what happened and why. 🧵 azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status...

Internet traffic began returning to normal in Tanzania beginning at 11:39 UTC today following an internet shutdown lasting nearly 26 hours.

Our thoughts are with the affected provider during this difficult time; we can’t imagine what that must be like. - AWS, probably

AWS blames "another infrastructure provider" 😁 "There are no issues with AWS services, and all AWS services are operating normally. We are aware that an operational issue at another infrastructure provider may be impacting some customers' applications" health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

Internet traffic to Jamaica plummets as Hurricane Melissa rumbles through the Caribbean. Cuba also experienced a decline in traffic volume, according to @kentik.bsky.social aggregate NetFlow data.

The impact of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica is visible in IODA. Active Probing shows steady decline by ~20%. This decline in Internet connectivity appears driven by ISP FLOW Jamaica. Near realtime Internet connectivity data in Jamaica: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/JM?f...

In the first of a two-part post @isoc-pulse.bsky.social I analyze 3.5 years of IP geolocation data for @starlink, likely the largest store of such data outside the LEO satellite operator itself. pulse.internetsociety.org/blog/blast-o...

Internet in Cameroon began recovering after a 16-hour disruption that was blamed on a submarine cable outage. ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/CM?f...

Internet disruption in #Cameroon beginning at 03:53 UTC earlier today. Reports of a loss of submarine cable connectivity, although the main trunk of WACS seems to be fine. Traffic volumes to major operators in Cameroon exhibiting odd pulsing behavior.

An Internet disruption is ongoing in Cameroon as the country awaits election results. The disruption began at 3:55 AM UTC. Several ISPs are affected. Cause of the disruption is currently unconfirmed but the WACS is reported to have had "an incident." ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/CM?f...

🚨UPDATE on PEACE submarine cable break: Fault location：approximately 1380km from Egypt ZFR CLS (cc: @azizf45) www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-ca...

PEACE submarine cable suffered an outage yesterday (Oct-20) at 12:30 UTC when "PFE voltage suddenly dropped in Zafarana, Egypt." When the PEACE cable was lost, Pakistani incumbent @PTCLOfficial lost transit from Lumen (AS3356). www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-ca...

Traffic stats to DynamoDB yesterday show at least two other AWS disruptions following the big one early yesterday. Last update on the AWS Health Dashboard provides more details. health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

Amazon has blamed today's massive outage on the "DNS resolution of the DynamoDB API endpoint in US-EAST-1." @kentik.bsky.social observed a complete drop-off in traffic to this particular AWS service beginning at 06:55 UTC. Thousands of services around the world were impacted.

Internet service returning to #Afghanistan following Taliban-directed internet shutdown to "prevent immorality" beginning at 11:50 UTC. The shutdown, a first for the country, lasted almost two full days.

Taliban Imposes Internet Blackout Amid Morality Crackdown https://theonion.com/taliban-imposes-internet-blackout-amid-morality-crackdown/

Yesterday, the internet in Afghanistan went dark. The Taliban ordered the country's first-ever nationwide shutdown, a devastating blow to its growing digital economy and a profound assault on human rights. Our full analysis from @eldomador.bsky.social: www.kentik.com/blog/afghani...

Internet shutdown in northeastern Pakistan to quell protests captured by @ioda.live: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/region/3083?... x.com/pakistanwall...

Les Taliban bloquent Internet pour 1 journée complète et envisagent de revenir à la 2G pour "éviter l'immoralité". Ça me rappelle une histoire, bien française elle, de "3 Go par mois", et de l'obsession de blocage du porno.

Internet down for a second day in Afghanistan as country's first-ever internet blackout continues. Directive from Taliban govt is to revert to 2G-only service as a way to "prevent immorality."

Today's Internet shutdown in Afghanistan is an extension of recent government-directed shutdowns of fiber optic Internet, localized to specific provinces and motivated by a morality crackdown. Read more in our blog post: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/reports/tali...

The ongoing internet shutdown in Afghanistan is the outcome of what many feared when the Taliban took over in August 2021. As of August 2024, we hadn't seen much change with respect to internet service in the country, as I detailed in this blog post: www.kentik.com/blog/afghani...

The country-wide, government-ordered shutdown in Afghanistan is visible in IODA. Starting at 5:00 PM local time, the shutdown is ongoing. Follow connectivity in Afghanistan in near realtime: ioda.inetintel.cc.gatech.edu/country/AF?f...

Blackout in Afghanistan as Taliban orders internet service downed at 12:38 UTC (5:08pm local). Earlier this month, Taliban banned fiber optic internet in a rural province to “prevent immorality.” This shutdown follows brief national outage minutes earlier from 11:33 to 11:53 UTC.

Beginning at 04:27 UTC today (Sep-15), Starlink suffered a brief but global service outage. This is most widespread service outage since Jul-24 when Starlink was down for more than two hours. Nearly all AS14593's BGP routes were briefly withdrawn at the time of the incident.
