Internet Status — March 16, 2026: Localized ISP and CDN Issues

A brief but widespread Xfinity outage hit the San Francisco Bay Area this morning, with reports of internet dropouts stretching from the North Bay to the South Bay shortly after 9 AM local time. Service appeared to recover before 10 AM, though Comcast did not provide a root cause. Downdetector also logged minor spikes for AT&T and AWS in the same timeframe, suggesting possible upstream disruption.

Cloudflare experienced increased error rates for Workers scripts starting at 21:41 UTC on March 16. A fix was identified and implemented, and the team is monitoring the resolution. Separately, Cloudflare is performing scheduled maintenance at its Hamburg (HAM) datacenter from 01:00 to 05:00 UTC on March 17, which may cause slight latency increases for users routed through that facility.

Microsoft 365 saw approximately 160 user-reported issues over the past 24 hours, though no formal incident was declared by Microsoft.

All major cloud providers — AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure — report normal operations. GitHub, OpenAI, and Fastly show no active incidents. No BGP hijacks or routing anomalies have been reported.

Overall, the internet is functioning normally with only localized and largely resolved disruptions.
