What you need to know
- A number of big-name services are suffering intermittent outages in the UK.
- TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Zoom, and more are affected.
Don't worry, it isn't just you.
A number of big-name web-based services are suffering from intermittent outages across the UK, it seems. Services like Instagram, TikTok, Zoom, and a ton more are unavailable for some.
Issues began appearing around 10:15 UK time, with services failing. I was able to get some websites to load by switching DNS servers away from Google's 8.8.8.8 and using CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1, but now I just have different services and websites failing.
If you're suffering the only fix seems likely to be time — and waiting for whatever's broken to be fixed. Interestingly, the same services appear to be working just fine elsewhere, suggesting this is a problem specific to UK-based infrastructure. Virgin Media, a large UK internet service provider, is also reported as experiencing issues although it isn't clear whether that's a symptom or a root cause at this time.
A current list of services that are reported as affected by Downdetector include"
- Virgin Media
- Roblox
- Blizzard Battle.net
- Telegram
- Zoom
- and more.
This isn't the first time we've seen a number of services fail at once, but it's unusual for an issue like this to only afflict one part of the world. We'll be keeping our ears to the ground — and hoping this post publishes! — and hopefully we'll all be doomscrolling and posting pictures of our lunch soon enough.
