On Tuesday, due to a technical problem in the network of cloud service company Fastly, the Internet came to a standstill in many places in the world for some time and people suffered a lot. ‘Fastly’ restored the network after about an hour, but there are still reports of internet problems from some places. Dozens of major websites, including the New York Times, CNN, Twitch, Reddit, The Guardian and the UK government home pages, were shut down due to a technical problem at the cloud services company.

San Francisco-based Fastly acknowledged the problem with its network, saying the glitch started shortly before 10 a.m. (3:30 p.m. IST) and the issue is being looked into. The company said about an hour later that the flaw had been identified and rectified. Users may face higher load once global services are restored.

People trying to access CNN.com received a message saying, Error Fastly. A similar message appeared on the website of the Financial Times. The message on the New York Times and the UK government website was, ‘Error 503, Service not available.’
Down Detector, an online platform that monitors Internet-related vulnerabilities, said the report suggests that Fastly may have experienced a widespread problem, affecting its service. Despite Fastly having fixed the flaw, there are still reports of internet disruptions from some places.
