ISP Outage Detector

Compare reachability signals to identify regional provider, backbone, or SaaS trouble.

What this is

Most reported outages are partial — one region, one carrier, one peering point. This tool checks reachability across multiple signals so you can tell 'the internet is down' (it isn't) from 'this provider's east-coast peering is down' (often the real story).

What it covers

  • Multi-signal checks
  • Provider context
  • Reachability notes
  • Escalation-friendly summary

Operator notes

  • $Correlate user reports with route and status signals.
  • $Avoid assuming global outage from one path.
  • $Capture timing and impact while the issue is active.
status: Aggregated outage checks will run through Cloud functions.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if it's my ISP or the destination?
Test the destination from a second network (mobile hotspot, cloud shell). If it works there but not on your ISP, it's a path or peering issue between them.
What's a backbone vs an edge outage?
Edge = your last-mile to the ISP. Backbone = the carrier's internal long-haul. Edge problems affect one neighborhood; backbone problems affect entire regions.
