If you think you had dodgy Internet yesterday, it wasn't just you....

A CenturyLink BGP routing mistake has led to a ripple effect across the Internet that led to outages for numerous Internet-connected services such as Cloudflare, Amazon, Garmin, Steam, Discord, Blizzard, and many more.
These outages started at approximately 6 AM EST, when customers began reporting a wide-scale outage in the USA affecting CenturyLink services.

When performing searches on Twitter, there was a sudden influx of complaints about poor performance or outages on numerous connected services such as Blizzard, Steam, Discord, Roblox, Cloudflare, Hulu, Slink, Reddit, Amazon AWS, and many more.


CenturyLink states that their Level3 CA3 data center is causing this outage and are investigating the issue.
"Our technical teams are investigating an issue affecting some services in the CA3 data center. Ensuring the reliability of our services is our top priority. We will continue to provide status updates as this incident progresses. If you need further support, please contact us at [email protected]," CenturyLink's status page states.
This outage has since been resolved, and services are slowly recovering, with some areas taking longer than others.
