Seattle network disruption Thursday 5th February 2026 16:00:00

Transport provider's route has gone back to a long distance re-route so latency will have increased again, hopefully won't take too long to reduce back to normal again.

Our transport provider has confirmed they suffered multiple fiber cuts in a very short time period which is what caused the outages and high latency. A path has since come back online so latency has reduced to only 17ms above normal, this will be resolved later today as soon as the fiber cut can be repaired. China Unicom routing via AS4134 has been restored.

China Unicom connectivity has been restored, AS4134 stopped routing traffic to AS4837 - likely related to the major suspected fiber cut event on US west coast. We're still checking the quality of the network overall. Latency will be temporarily relevated due to the fiber cuts.
