Summary
Cloudflare said a cut fiber optic cable in eastern North America is driving a broader internet outage, with major sites and services knocked offline or returning elevated errors.
X and Reddit users reported access problems as Cloudflare logged increased error rates across multiple services, pointing to a backend network disruption rather than isolated site failures.
Cloudflare said it has already taken mitigation steps and that engineers are still working to restore normal connectivity.
The incident follows earlier outages the same day that hit X, Reddit, Teams, Zoom and Discord, underscoring how backbone network faults can ripple across major platforms.
