# Is the Internet Down Right Now? Live Status Check Updated 13:50 UTC, 29 Oct 2026. Canonical: https://monitorworld.app/live/is-the-internet-down No, the internet is not down: 21 of the 23 big services we check report normal operation and 2 report a minor issue (Cloudflare and Amazon Web Services (AWS)). Checked 13:50 UTC from their official status pages. If your own connection fails, run the test below: it shows in a few seconds whether the problem is on your side. ## Is it just me? Test your connection The interactive version of this page lets your browser try to reach Google, Cloudflare, Amazon, Microsoft and Wikipedia and times each one. If all answer, your connection works; if none answer, the problem is your Wi-Fi, router or internet provider. ## Live status of the big internet services 21 of 23 operational as of 13:50 UTC.

**1. One site or every site?** If only one site or app fails, look up its row above. If it reports a problem, wait; there is nothing to fix on your side. - **2. One device or every device?** If your laptop fails but your phone works on the same Wi-Fi, restart the laptop and turn Wi-Fi off and on. - **3. Wi-Fi or the line?** Switch your phone to mobile data. If that works, the problem is your Wi-Fi, router or home line. Restart the router and modem: unplug them for 30 seconds. - **4. Your internet provider.** If the router's internet light is off or red after a restart, check your provider's app or outage page, or call them. - **5. DNS.** If sites do not load but apps like WhatsApp work, your DNS may be failing. Restarting the router usually fixes it. ### Why one company can take down thousands of sites Most websites and apps do not run their own servers. They rent them from a few clouds (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) and sit behind a few CDNs (Cloudflare, Akamai). When one of these has a fault, every customer fails at once. On 20 October 2025 a DNS fault in AWS's N. Virginia region broke Snapchat, Fortnite, Roblox and banks for hours (AWS). On 18 November 2025 a bad file at Cloudflare took down X, ChatGPT and many other sites (Cloudflare). None of these big outages was an attack, according to the providers. See the [internet outage map](https://monitorworld.app/live/internet-outage-map) for the full list of 2025-2026 outages with dates and sources. ### What we check, and what we do not We read the official status pages of 23 services every 5 minutes and show each provider's own words, with a link. When a status page itself is down, the row says "status unknown". We do not have data from home internet providers (ISPs) such as Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, AT&T or BT, and we do not collect user reports. If your own connection is down and every service here is fine, the fault is most likely on your side or with your ISP: check your ISP's outage page or app. ### Status by group As of 13:50 UTC. | Group | Services | Problems now | | --- | --- | --- | | CDN and DNS | Cloudflare and Akamai | Cloudflare (minor issue) | | Cloud and hosting | Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean, Akamai Cloud (Linode), Vercel and Netlify | Amazon Web Services (AWS) (minor issue) | | Apps and work tools | Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Discord, Reddit, Dropbox and Atlassian | none | | Developers, shops and payments | GitHub, npm, Stripe and Shopify | none | | AI and games | OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude) and Epic Games | none | ## FAQ ### Is the internet down right now? No. As of 13:50 UTC, 21 of the 23 big clouds, CDNs and apps we check report normal operation on their official status pages; Cloudflare and Amazon Web Services (AWS) report a minor issue. If your connection is down, the cause is most likely local. ### Is it just me, or is the internet down? Run the test at the top of this page. If Google, Cloudflare, Amazon, Microsoft and Wikipedia all answer, your connection works and the problem is with one site or app: check its row in the status list. If none answer, the problem is your device, Wi-Fi, router or internet provider. ### Is Cloudflare down? As of 13:50 UTC, Cloudflare's status page says "Partial System Outage" (minor issue on our scale). Cloudflare runs a large network of data centres, so a few are often re-routed for maintenance; that is normal. When Cloudflare has a real outage, many websites show a Cloudflare error page at the same time, as on 18 November 2025. ### Is AWS down? As of 13:50 UTC the AWS Health Dashboard shows: Long-running disruption in UAE (me-central-1) and Bahrain (me-south-1); no other open events. Since 1 March 2026 AWS has reported a disruption in its UAE (me-central-1) and Bahrain (me-south-1) regions, which were damaged during the Iran war; that does not affect apps hosted in other regions. The last big AWS outage was in N. Virginia (us-east-1) on 20 October 2025. ### Why does my internet keep going down? Repeated drops usually come from Wi-Fi interference, an old or overheating router, a loose cable, or a fault on your provider's line. Restart the router, move closer to it or use a cable, and check whether the drops happen on every device. If they do, call your provider: they can test the line. ### How do I check if my internet provider has an outage? Open your provider's app or outage page, or call its support line; providers post local outages there first. Crowd-report sites can also help.
