Title: Did the entire Internet break at around 4.20pm?
Post by: zappaDPJ on Feb 23, 2017, 18:32:45
Every BQM I can see shows a drop in service at around 4.20pm which lasted for around 5 minutes.

Wind?  :bartmoon: No not that kind...

But could it have caused a sudden break somewhere with a tree/electrical fault then take a second to "fall over" in more ways than one?  ;D

I didn't actually notice anything, but my phone was downloading and upgrading it's OS at the time, so other than that, I wasn't doing anything online.

There's nothing in my modem log but it does appear to be on everyone's BQM regardless of provider.

I don't think I was online at that time.

TBB went down briefly at that time, both the main site and the forums.

It had gone down earlier in the day for a more extended period too, but it didn't affect the BQMs for some reason.

Presumably they were working on the servers and something wasn't ready for showtime... maybe a new version of the main site, I know they've been working on one.

That would explain it. It's so reliable it never occurred to me it would be a problem at their end. Thanks Bill :)

They suffered a DoS attack yesterday afternoon.
