Summary
Cloudflare said its mitigation efforts were successfully addressing the majority of congestion and packet drops from Monday’s widespread internet outage, easing disruptions for many users.
A cut fiber optic cable in eastern North America triggered the backend network problems, driving increased error rates across multiple Cloudflare services.
X, Reddit and other sites were among the services hit, with users reporting broad connectivity failures rather than isolated platform-specific outages.
Engineers were still working on a full fix, but the update suggested internet access was returning to near-normal for most affected users.
