February was a surprisingly quiet month for major Internet disruptions.
Internet outages are a business liability. Monitor global internet connectivity with Oracle's Internet Intelligence Map.
For the first time in history, a very modest level of internet service is now available to anyone in Cuba with a 3G-capable device.

The level of significant Internet disruptions observed through the Oracle Internet Intelligence Map was lower in October, though the underlying reasons for these disruptions remained generally consistent compared to prior months. For enterprises, the importance of redundant Internet connectivity and regularly exercised failover plans is clear. Unfortunately, for state-imposed Internet outages, such planning and best practices may need to include failsafes for operations while...

In recent weeks, the Naval War College published a paper that contained a number of claims about purported efforts by the Chinese government to manipulate BGP routing in order to intercept internet traffic. In this blog post, I don’t intend to address the paper’s claims around the motivations of these actions. However, there is truth to the assertion that China Telecom (whether intentionally or not) has misdirected internet traffic (including out of the United States) in...

Yesterday marked the first time in recent Internet history that a new submarine cable carried live traffic across the South Atlantic, directly connecting South America to Sub-Saharan Africa. The South Atlantic Cable System (SACS) built by Angola Cables achieved this feat around midday on 18 September 2018. Our Internet monitoring tools noticed a change in latency between our measurement servers in various Brazilian cities and Luanda, Angola, decreasing from over 300ms to...

During August 2018, the Oracle Internet Intelligence Map surfaced Internet disruptions around the world due to familiar causes including nationwide exams, elections, maintenance, and power outages. A more targeted disruption due to a DDoS attack was also evident, as were a number of issues that may have been related to submarine cable connectivity. In addition, in a bit of good news, the Internet Intelligence Map also provided evidence of two nationwide trials of mobile...

Much like air travel, the internet has certain hubs that play important relay functions in the delivery of information. Just as Heathrow Airport serves as a hub for passengers traveling to or from Europe, AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) is a key hub for information getting in or out of Europe. Instead of airline companies gathering in one place to drop off or pick up passengers, it's internet service providers coming together to swap data – lots and lots of data. Where...
