RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – From people shopping Amazon to trying to stream Hulu or wanting to play Fortnite and to big communications providers such as Verizon and Bandwidth, the operable word Tuesday is “outage.”
However, by 2 p.m. numerous services were returning to normal, based on a review of 48 website reports at Downdetector.com. But YouTube suffered a serious spike in outages a that time and other providers such as AT&T, CenturyLink and T-Mobile continued to have trouble at 3 p.m., Downtector showed.
By 4 p.m. some problems persisted but many charts showed a return to near-normal access.
Downdetector, which tracks internet troubles, has been posting alerts and updates about outages all day with some troubles being cited as early as Monday night. Zoom has been affected as Microsoft Teams.
