Level 3 Internet outage today

If you hear about a Level 3 Internet outage today and haven’t heard this company mentioned before, then you might be wondering how problems involving the Level3 network could take down your access to Yahoo Mail, PSN, Xbox Live, Outlook, BT, Twitch, HBO Go, Craigslist, and other networks/services.

Level 3 Communications is based in America and is now operating under the name CenturyLink. It provides Internet service via their Tier 1 network to Internet carriers in Europe, Asia, and North America. This is why we have seen problems with a range of services in the UK, Germany, and United States that all user the Level3 network.

You can access an outage map for this company at the official maps section of their website.

Level-3-statement

  • Jamie Longstreet

    Does anyone have a listing of major (level 3) outages – for example when the SQL Slammer worm hit the email servers in 2003 – January 24 2003. I was hoping to do a data science project based on past level 3 internet outages. There was also a Nachi worm that year.

  • Maria Acosta

    I posted earlier today on another page about this outage. I just found this page. I get only internet services through Spectrum. I’m in zip code 93543 (outside of Palmdale,CA and just north of Pasadena). Our internet here went out around 5 am last night. It came back around 4:30 pm, a few hours ago. We had no service between those hours. I called on two people that live near me, in different towns. They both told me their internet didn’t go out at all, no problems. They have the same Spectrum service, only internet, no cable or home phone services. It’s weird how our internet went out but not theirs. I did hear that others in surrounding towns lost their internet too (not the same towns these friends of mine live in), along with some people in the Pasadena area.

  • TheeLynnChase

    Internet going in and outon iPad, Mac laptop, tv using Direct TV, and my Galaxy 8 phone! Getting connection lost on and off. Tv has turned on and off and back on 5 times in the last hour. In Las Vegas.

  • Beans

    Green Bay, WI – We lost our Spectrum internet/cable/landline services starting on 4/11/18 and it returned early on 4/12/18. Very inconvenient for college student with online classes and homework/tests that can only be submitted through Blackboard online.

    Spectrum said everyone’s service was dropped. Further research indicated the outage was on a national scale. Service may be back, bit it is super slow.

  • Jeff Gorski

    Chicago IL Suburbs, tracert is erratic at best, over 10 timeouts or 700+ms response times after jump 9, with no identifiers on those jumps. My trace goes from my box, to the city’s location, to the il backbone, and then gets dumped on at 200:4860:0:1::1f32, and never becomes stable after that jump (jump 9). All internet services are basically rendered crippled. While I can periodically access things, I’m lucky if the stability lasts more than 2 consecutive seconds. This has been for half the day now.

    • Chris

      sounds like they are not telling us something, say, installing hardware on the network to help control, throttle, and prioritize the fast lanes they are going to push out next year. This entire thing is BS a coup by big companies is to change the net before the FCC ruling is in full effect. They did this on both “Days of Action”, both times the vote for net neutrality came up, they said it was this event here, and too many people on the network, which was found later to be complete BS, and in fact FCC helped the ISP’s bring the entire network down, while they then spammed the websites, Facebook pages,m etc with BOT posts supporting Net’s repeal. Pie got caught for that recently. But who knows at this point. They are doing massive fishy things in collusion with Microsoft & Apple to help throttle the net as well. This also includes every day at 12am/pm, 3am/pm, 6am/pm, 9am/pm right on the dot or very close to, the net automatically drops EVERYONE and then may or may not resume. It then may only give you like 5 mins tops of stable internet, then down it goes again, same thing daily. Thats a digital algorithm working within the hardware or software, or both. The more of this you got, the more control you got to throttle im sure. The network is also over 100 years old, same old outdated copper wires, and most towns never upgrade them until they are literally about to collapse. That system was not meant for this, and back then when people didn’t create companies to simply rip people off, they sort of cared a bit more then so things like “artificially and on purpose, throttling of the internet and other services” was not even a thought so the network won’t be able to handle it without some upgrades. doesn’t surprise me its collapsing under the twisted 180 that comcrap is today.

  • gfjmcginnis

    Is this what is behind the outage at Sling TV since yesterday morning?

  • Terran B

    Internet’s been out all day at least 8 hours now in Columbus near Dublin Ohio 43235. This has happened to our entire building like 5 times in two weeks. Getting VERY old!

  • Ken May

    aol mail is down from both the desktop software and internet email site. Called the help desk and they had no idea. DownDetector is getting over 300 entries every 15 minutes from all over the country. Apparently it is a countrywide outage…..again!!

  • Ashley Snyder

    Nextlink internet is down as well as our Spectrum VOIP.

  • Wen of SF

    Internet, cable & phone all down as of 2am PST. We are in Oakland, Ca & use Comcast Xfinity- who I loathe!

  • REMant

  • jmuhj

    Still unable to access AOL email accounts. Nothing else wrong so far.

  • jmuhj

    Can’t access any AOL email accounts, Google Chrome browser is weird (reset that) and my Yahoo email started scrolling as I was composing an email; Yahoo also put an email from someone I communicate with daily in my spam box.

  • Gloria Wagner

    Verizon and US Cellular are out in southeast Tennessee today, Jan 11, 2018. It is interesting to watch people’s behaviors when they are not able to use their devices for more than a Rolodex, calculator, or clock.

  • Kathy A Longino

    Our internet providers make the US look like a 3rd World Country. SAD.

    • Dolmance

      Most 3rd World Countries have faster Internet than the US. All of Europe, most of Latin American (including Mexico) and Asia are faster and more reliable. We have the slowest and most unreliable Internet of the developed world, and the Republicans have made it so cities cannot compete by law.

      Now that Trump has repealed Net Neutrality, it’s only going to get worse.

      • Chris

        Actually it was the Dems man, not the Rebs. but in reality, both parties wanted this too so blame Obama as much as Trump. Money buys ALL.

  • JHolmes

    Internet very slow… using Verizon wireless broadband

  • Courtney Shay

    No service whatsoever with my Verizon phone. Been like that for the past 5 hours. Lebanon Ohio.

  • Karen

    Issues with Sucuri WP Security Plugin in Europe. WP Website will be blocked by Firewall.

  • Here in the Philippines Google and facebook were working (I saw this page in my google search for internet issues, but could not open it until today) but pretty much everything else was down. Couldn’t reach any application or services of Office 365 and Azure, many sites were unreachable, some could get to their own pages, but services simply froze …

  • Josh Roza

    So glad 2 super large telcos just merged into 1. Way to go commerce department.

    • NgTurbo

      Not a fan of the new CenturyLink merge then Josh?

      • Josh Roza

        I work with level 3 and CenturyLink and have for years, in fact was on a conference call today with several folks. I think all of the telcos leveling up has resulted in less stability and higher costs. The problem is that it is such a capital and regulation heavy segment that competition isn’t likely to happen from upstarts.

        I could bore you with details, but I won’t. I also wasn’t a fan of the TW acquisition by LVLT and I opposed the acquisition of TimeWarner by Comcast (funny enough, TW and TimeWarner were broken up to stop a conglomerate that would control too much of the internet…) meanwhile LvLt has trouble today and over 1/3 of the entire internet stops working. The commerce department over the past 25 or so years has become a simple rubber stamp, rather than a checks and balances, which was its function after the Teapot Dome scandal. oh well.

  • NgTurbo

    Level 3 or CenturyLink have now said that the November 6, 2017 outage was due to a ‘configuration’ issue on Twitter. According to the company, all should be restored now but is Comcast still down for you?

  • Daniel.F

    comcast still down for me.. so unreliable.

  • NgTurbo

    It has been a bad day for Level 3 customers today. Service disrupted for hours, bringing down access to Comcast amongst others. Anyone else still having problems right now?

  • Nicholas Souris

    L3 is having major issues today.

  • Steamdude

    Thanks for pointing that out! Still doesn’t explain why we’re getting spotty service, but at least I know this one is the proverbial “red herring”.

  • thisisfutile

    Genius! This article was written 2+ years ago and the only way I know that is to scroll through all the comments. They don’t date their “article” (yes, the quotes are on purpose, I’m using that term loosely) and they make it sound like it’s here and now. What a great way to get your website to stay at the top of search chains and “relevant” (again, I know I used quotes). There’s even a blurb in the middle that uses TODAY’S DATE, making it almost sound like this is happening TODAY. Shame on you P-R.net … shame.

  • ✪ Shamz ✪

    Everything is so friggin slow now.

  • Gen

    Well discord and battle.net and Snapchat are down

  • Jorge Luis de la Borbolla

  • Dermingle

    That links is to a PDF map, not a live coverage/outage map.

  • Steve Rothkopf

    Site still down. Who are these Level3 people anyway? Their license should be revoked.

  • Steve Rothkopf

    One of our sites has been unreachable all day. This all goes to prove that the internet isn’t the robust, self-healing miracle it’s supposed to be — one bit of it falls over, and a major chunk of is suddenly out of business. Level 3 should wind itself it and go home.

  • Leon Schlossberg

    A serious problem with Internet timeouts in the Spectrum service areas at Fayetteville, NC appeared to have been fixed during late afternoon on Saturday, August 19, but today (August 20) between 2 – 3 p.m., the Internet service went into meltdown again and most sites we try to access are timing out. This is the worst Internet slowdown I’ve seen in the past five years. Funny that the news media is ignoring this.

  • Roger Faucher

    Perhaps this can explain why Level 3 is showing up more often in the press due to outages: “On October 31, 2016, CenturyLink announced its intent to acquire Level 3 in a deal valued at around $25 billion.”

  • Danyal

    services are also down in pakistan ..

  • James Mendham

    tell me about it. Though – as I’m in Canada – it’s good to know we’re not at all attached to this infrastructure, though i”m curious why my data-center provider is claiming it’s ‘their jupiter switches’ when it simply isn’t.

    You know, as an IT professional it is always odd when other IT professionals quote the marketing status quo rather than simply saying, ‘yeah. we’re on xyz backbone and they screwed up, and this is what the deal is’ instead of making up some kind of excuse.

  • Meg Miller

    Internet down in kansas not sure about other services.

Web.com has been on it for the whole time, has escalated it twice, but only gives “still currently under investigation”. What should I do?

  • Rodney

    Ping times horrible and non responding between level 3 ae7.edge2.LosAngles.Level3.net and 4.14.98.38. Sure wish Level 3 would fix their problems so our site doesn’t seam like it’s on dial up speed for most of our clients.

Boise Idaho and surrounding area seem affected. Others in the coffee shop tell me their WiFi is very slow also. Hope this get fixed soon.

  • William Pickering

    This may very well explain why my DSL connection was down from Monday night up to sometime this morning. Also may explain why my wifes and my AT&T powered phones was on EDGE, and the kids T-Mobile powered phones had no service. Seems funny they all died the same time . . .

      • Zach B

        I don’t think you understand the effect Level3 has on your employer. I would be amazed if your employer didn’t tunnel across Level3 somewhere in Texas. Also, it will do no good to switch to your employer for Voice-over-IP services unless you are providing their internet other wise their traffic will probably traverse a Level3 node to get to you. It would also only be a benefit if you provided their internet if you were actually a facilities based CLEC in that area or an ILEC. Otherwise those lines are maintained by someone else and they most likely use Level3. But let’s say that’s all true. What happens when they call someone that isn’t on your service in Texas or anywhere else? You may not know this but if your employer doesn’t have interconnect agreement with with every carrier then more than likely that call will be carried by Level3. Also, most interconnects for other providers are provided via Level3. The point is that you are trying to be an opportunistic sleeze and capitalize on someone’s misfortune. This is not the time or the place and you clearly don’t understand the global communications grid well enough to open your mouth. I don’t work for Level3 and I don’t particularly have any love for them. But I despise people whole push services and products by misrepresenting them and being dishonest about the capabilities.

        • Randy L

          Zach,

          Just read your reply and could agree more! My sentiments exactly

      • Randy L

        While I admire your drive in pursuing new customers, it is very risky highlighting a network outage on a competitor. I’m being generous by putting Grande/Level 3 on “level playing fields” (no pun int need). An outage can/will his any network at any time. Level 3s outage a few days ago can be Grande’s outage tomorrow. I’ve had Grande service personally and experienced many “service glitches” that impacted my phone service.

        Proceed with caution!

    Latency of 16 seconds in level6 we can’t work with that. Everything is delayed it is disaster.

  • Patrick

    An outage that began around 20:00 PST took down two connections to our data center for several hours. This was reported to be a large region wide outage that lasted for just over three hours. Everything seems operational now.

  • Jordan

    Having issues with multiple services including Netflix and Xbox One, wondering if there’s a Level3 outage today. I can’t see anything on their Twitter status page or live tweets from others.

  • Ron

    There’s certainly a level 3 outage in the last hour, but this hasn’t been confirmed just yet on their Twitter. I couldn’t stream anything on Netflix, in NYC.

  • Editor

    There’s another Level3 outage today across the USA, Oct 15. It has caused problems with people trying to access Netflix, Candy Crush, and Sling TV, as well as many other services.

  • Rob

    Is there a Level3 outage today, Oct 12? I know all connections were stable after their network went down a couple of days ago, but this morning I am seeing Level 3 problems and though there might be an outage?

  • Billy

    I’m in the UK right now and notice problems with Level 3, anyone confirm an outage happening on Sept 29?

    • Martin Willcox

      Im in the UK and experiencing Level3 Internet issues as well.
      Service bouncing, 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off

  • Emma

    I think there’s a Level3 outage today in Estonia.

  • Godaddy says level3 is the cause of my website not loading.

    • Dood Feller

      Your traceroute confirms that GoDaddy lied to you. Your trace shows that it went through the Level 3 network. If it goes all the way through their network and reaches someone else’s network, how can it be Level 3?

  • Central Phoenix – Having difficulty getting to most website. Changed my DNS to Google working fine.

  • Dan

    The official Level3 Twitter states they are experiencing “service disruptions” and that the problems are only affecting customers in North America. It looks like service is slowly coming back right now.

  • Max

    Houston, Texas is having issues as of 2.45PM (CST) Service seem to have returned to normal around 3PM Waiting for speak to a Level 3 representative to see what happened.

  • Kerry

    Looking at tweets by location this is certainly hitting the United States more today, Aug 27 2015. Most Level3 outage maps point to areas in san diego, Concord, Dayton Ohio and still down Albuquerque.

  • Nath

    San Diego has intermittent issues.

  • Editor

    Another major outage today across USA, portions of the internet are down in Greensboro as well.

  • Rob

    Nothing like a large internet outage to make you happy when you want internet access in the early hours, thanks @level3 for the outage. Think things are improving now though, so I missed most of the downtime.

  • Matt

    So, it looks like the whole internet went on the blink on June 12, as it was to do with a level3 outage causing problems in Germany, UK, and many parts of NA.

  • Dan

    The Level3 major UK outage stopped me playing GTA 5, also access to Yahoo Mail.

  • Bob

    Major level3 outage this morning that hit other CDNs in UK and USA.
