Internet Outages Affecting Multiple Locations

I'm based in Long Island, NY, and I'm experiencing outages with several websites, as well as issues with a VPN tunnel to Las Vegas. This all started happening simultaneously. It's odd because other VPNs across the country seem to be working fine. Is anyone else dealing with similar internet issues?

I've got a SonicWall setup, and it blocked a botnet IP during the outages. It's good to know our ISP is aware and is checking on it. Sounds like a backbone issue rather than something isolated to our equipment.

Iโ€™m in Florida, and Iโ€™m noticing the same thing. It seems to be getting better now, but it was definitely a rough start. My internet at home is back up, but I heard that some businesses were having trouble.

Same here, but what's strange is that I can ping some remote sites from my home in Orlando, while our data center can't reach them. This definitely seems like a larger carrier issue affecting multiple areas.

Just got word from my ISP that they're resolving the issues. Things seem to have stabilized for now, but itโ€™s been a frustrating day trying to figure it all out.
