Partial Outage?

I am in Los Angeles. I woke up today and noticed many websites are not loading. Even some parts of AT&T's site fail to load. On the website downdetector many people in Southern California are reporting similar issues. Does anyone know what is happening? Or when this will be resolved?

Just my luck that the most of the sites I usually visit each day are unreachable.  Testing other sites I'm finding about a third of them are unavailable while the others work perfectly.

Try changing your DNS server in your computer preferences - Network to Google (8.8.8.8).

It's been more than 5 hours since I woke up and had this problem. Still nothing has been fixed. Websites like Amazon still time out when trying to connect. No Live Chat option on AT&T support page even though it says "Our chat team is here to help," probably because I cannot load that part of AT&T website. Getting really frustrated.

Tried using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 DNS server in my DD-WRT router and I'm still timing out.

Same here, in Pasadena, for at least 4 hours now. Some websites (google.com) work fine, others (amazon.com) are unreachable. It is not a DNS problem, because using http://54.239.26.128 (= address of amazon.com) does not work either. Spoke to support, but they claim they have not heard of anyone else having this problem (you all don't count), and suggested replacing my router.

 

It would be nice if AT&T could just post a message about the specific problem they are having, with some estimate of when it would be solved. That would save all of us (including the support people) some time.

Same problem here in San Gabriel. Stuff like Google and YouTube work. Things like Amazon and others do not. It's not a router issue. Tested the connection with a proxy, and everything loads fine. I'm hesitant to contact support because I doubt they'll suggest anything I haven't tried.

Someone else mentioned that the sites they could get to were loaded very quickly.  I noticed that too, so I did a speedtest.  I'm subscribed to 24 Mbps speed and my connection timed at 27.75 Mbps.  That is by far the fastest speed I've ever recorded.

Where I am AT&T only offers 3 Mbps. Currently getting 2.7 Mbps. Most of the time I only get 2.7 - 2.8 Mbps. AT&T has no interest in upgrading the internet speeds in my area even though I live in Los Angeles.
