We're currently seeing significantly elevated latency for our Seattle DDoS protected network, of around 66ms. This is caused by multiple fiber cuts in the transport network we use to San Jose. We've been given an ETA for one of the cuts to be resolved on 13th April by 13:00 UTC, but we're hopeful the separate fiber cut that occurred at 10:36 UTC today (12th April) will be resolved long before this.
Our Seattle DDoS protected network saw instability starting at 20:37 UTC and ending at 20:45 UTC, this was caused by one of our DDoS mitigation providers, Neoprotect, suffering a full network outage, our backup network automatically took over within minutes and this will remain active until Neoprotect is stable again.
See the update below for full details:
Neoprotect has stated that they are not going to continue their service. We are investigating alternative DDoS mitigation providers and hope to have one available soon, this will also return latency to normal levels.
Neoprotect is still offline, they use datapacket/CDN77 as a sole upstream and they disabled Neoprotect's service which resulted in the full global outage of Neoprotect's network. You can read more about the cause here: https://status.neoprotect.net
We are currently routing DDoS protected inbound traffic through Cnservers Los Angeles so there will be a latency increase for locations that are geographically close to Seattle, if this is a problem for you in the short term, please contact us and we'll discuss the options available with you.
Longer term, we will onboard another ddos mitigation provider, potentially GSL, that has a local Seattle POP, this will ensure latency is normal.
Our Dallas and Ashburn DDoS protected network is currently offline for any traffic that doesn't route directly to Dallas.
CosmicGuard's global network is suffering an outage, we're awaiting an update from them.

CosmicGuard have reassured us that they are working on implementing significant redundancy improvements in the near future. They understand the recent outages are unaccompanied. We are constantly evaluating all DDoS mitigation options available on the market in case improvement in CosmicGuard's stability doesn't occur.
All CosmicGuard POPs are now back online.
We apologise greatly for the inconvenience, we will be taking to CosmicGuard about what steps they'll take to prevent a repeat incident.
Everywhere except traffic routing through Los Angeles came back online at 05:33 UTC. CosmicGuard has said Los Angeles will come back online within 5 minutes.

We're currently seeing an outage for our Dallas DDoS protected network, it's being checked.
CosmicGuard is now fully back online. The cause was related to their infrastructure that announces our prefixes to the internet, they're working on increasing the resiliency of this. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
We've been able to restore network connectivity while CosmicGuard works on their issue.
