Internet Status — July 4, 2026: Minor Incidents, No Widespread Outage

The internet is operating normally today. There is no widespread or internet-wide outage — only a handful of minor, provider-specific incidents, all localized or already being mitigated.

What we are tracking:

• Cloudflare — Engineers implemented a fix for a network performance issue affecting parts of North America and are monitoring the results. Separately, Workers AI is showing degraded availability for a couple of specific models. Core services remain largely operational. (cloudflarestatus.com)

• Akamai — A submarine cable problem affecting traffic to and from Pakistan (began July 2) has been mitigated by rerouting traffic away from the affected paths. Akamai reports normal operations and continues to monitor.

• Twilio — Carrier-specific SMS delivery delays or failures on certain networks in Haiti, Bolivia, Indonesia, and Iraq. These are external carrier issues; core Twilio services are operational.

• OpenAI — Some features remain degraded in FedRAMP (US government) environments. Standard ChatGPT and API services are unaffected.

All clear: AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, GitHub, Discord, Slack, Atlassian, Vercel, and DigitalOcean report no active incidents.

Recently resolved (past 72 hours): GitHub Pages deployment latency (July 2), Discord intermittent chat issues (June 29), and several DigitalOcean regional issues (July 1–3).

Bottom line: The internet is up. The issues in play are localized or provider-specific and are being actively managed.
