BBC were calling this a "major internet outage" (or something similiar). a single CDN being down is not a major internet outage. Gov.uk was also not down in its entirety also as inferred by their article.

Sloppy poor journalism.

I was referring to the complaint about the use of the word "breakage" in the article but i think you already knew that when you posted.

I doubt the "sloppy journalism" has done anyone any harm time to move along nothing to see here.

Ok I can see some people are too thick to think for themselves.

If a person is complaining about having a slow connection and has 4 devices per person in a household using said connection then you work out what is needed in order to use the only connection they have in an orderly fashion without drop outs, etc.

Wow you finally show your true colours what a nasty piece of work you are, how can you call people thick just because they may not know as much about how the internet works as you, you should be ashamed for posting that.

I openly admit i haven't anything better to do with my time

Twitter goes down.

BBC 'journalist's' panic as they might have to do some real work...

There’s a summary of the June 8 outage now on the Fastly blog, from their SVP for engineering and infrastructure:

https://www.fastly.com/blog/summary-of-june-8-outage

They're holding their hands up quickly, and kudos to that.

Maybe the BBC could hold their hands up and admit their original news article was completely misleading and insulting to organisations who actually operate gov.uk that were not affected who BBC inferred were completely down.

I expect they will be getting a major grilling from their customers, and probably then some…

The explanation is still quite obfuscated. Expect there’s quite a lot that is unsaid, that won’t and can’t be revealed in public due to the nature of the industry, curious competitors and commercial in confidence stuff. But behind closed doors, someone’s nuts will be be getting roasted.
