CenturyLink/Level 3 Suffers Fiber Cut, FCC Cracks Down on China Telecom, and Public vs. Private Internet Exchanges—Which Is Best? (Week of April 20-26) | Outage Deep Dive
In this week’s episode, Archana and I are joined by a special guest, Christian Koch, who is the head of product, cloud and ecosystem at PacketFabric. Listen in as we cover the current state of global Internet health and dive into network outage numbers across ISPs, public cloud, and collaboration platforms.
This week, we saw that the overall number of outages wasn’t particularly concerning, reflecting our “new normal,” but there were a few notable outages that had far-reaching impacts. In particular, an outage at Tata Communications and a fiber cut at Level 3/CenturyLink had significant end-user impacts, as did another outage that took down access to GitHub.
