The consistency of the outages across some of those platforms (all seemingly related, too) is very interesting.The timings are almost all identical
Happened in NC as well.
I figured it was because of the solar winds due to hit us today.
From spaceweather.com:
THE SOLAR WIND IS HERE: Earth is inside a stream of solar wind flowing almost 600 km/s. First contact on Jan. 25th produced an unexpected G1-class geomagnetic storm, described below. Storm conditions are subsiding now. However, Arctic auroras are still possible (even likely) on Jan. 26th as the solar wind continues to blow. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.
AURORA SURPRISE: A stream of solar wind hit Earth on Jan. 25th. The impact sparked an unexpected G1-class geomagnetic storm. "Suddenly, the whole sky was moving and dancing. It felt like aurora was hitting us with a hammer onto the head," reports Markus Varik, who sends this picture from Tromsø, Norway:

Looks like entire east coast? Anyone confirm? Can they?
I’m in CA. Kids are on google classroom at this moment
We have connection just outside dc at 2:38
I'm in NY, everything working fine.
Toilet stopped up. Does that count? Need more band width?
No current issue w/ Spectrum in Ohio
Google allegedly down fromDC to Boston on the map?
Ok thanks, it was showing down recently?

I'd always verify. Good sources to verify are the company status pages:
https://status.aws.amazon.com/
If they are down, they'll know it and let their customers know. DD is wrong a lot of times.
Thank you. That's a helpful reminder.
Philadelphia looks like the epicenter of the outage... military seizing ballots for forensic audit?
Whatever remains of the ballots that haven't been shredded.
Philadelphian here - almost all of Philly uses Comcast and service has been fine all day. I know there was a Verizon cell and internet outage along the top half of the East Coast (or possibly still is) but we don't have much of that in the city - more so in the burbs. I haven't personally experienced any other outages today.
Thanks for the update... keep your eyes open for ballot confetti
No seriously it's now showing 48 down?!!
And many ID'd as down in the UK.

Working in South Eastern Michigan. 1:30 pm.
As far as I know the outage was only Verizon Fios customers. I haven't had issues with Google or anything else for that matter. I believe Verizon said it was East Coast from VA to MA due to a fiber cable cut in NY. Suspicious for sure but I'm not aware of any other outages?
Have internet in North Carolina - Verizon.
Could be something big; but also important to keep in mind there's a rather large snow storm. Or at least we got several inches of snow in Chicago, no internet outage here though.
It was a geomagnetic storm that developed because of the solar winds that hit us yesterday.
Created a huge thunderstorm and knocked out the internet for a few hours.

It’s odd that many separate services went down at the same time. Not saying anything is habbening but that’s just odd. Another anomaly

Seems to be in the Northeast. All of the services showing the same hotspots on their map.
Definitely widespread from Boston to DC.
Google, Amazon, Verizon, and many others.
User Complaints on https://downdetector.com/status/amazon/ show the frustration of not being able to log in and access services.
Call counts hit a high of ~22k for Verizon.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), leading cloud hosting company, saw a peak of over 1.2k complaints. My guess is many of the hosted cloud services were running on AWS such as COD, Fortnite, Pokemon, etc... These may have been used as alternative communication channels as well.
