Is Google Down?

[jmetal88]

I find myself unable to get to Google this morning (I tried both US and UK URLs). Furthermore, I can't load downforeveryoneorjustme.com to check if it's actually down. Clearly my Internet access is working in some capacity or else I would not have been able to make this post. Can someone confirm or deny that Google is down?

EDIT: Also Youtube is going really slowly.

Can someone confirm or deny that Google is down?

Both the UK and main Google sites are currently working fine for me + Youtube is running fine as well.

Dang, I wonder what the heck is going on with my ISP then? :blink:

EDIT: Yeah, it's nothing going on in my setup. I can't even ping it from my router, and it should be able to do that regardless of configuration, if I am at all connected to the internet.

Dude, read my first post. Seriously.

EDIT: I just found out where Youtube is hanging up:

CODE
bash-3.2$ ping s.ytimg.com
PING static.cache.l.google.com (209.85.239.81) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- static.cache.l.google.com ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 7010ms

Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I sent a support e-mail, it came back up. :rolleyes:

EDIT: All the google subdomains are still down though.

EDIT 2: Now the main site is down again.

Google can't possibly be down, you know. It's almost certainly a problem with your connection.

About 6.77, close 533.80

Yeah... But what? That's what's bugging me. It's gotta be something with the ISP, but why just Google?

It's isn't just Google, it'll be a host of other sites too, but you probably don't know what they are to try them.

Your ISP has a number of different ISPs for it's backbone, and is having a routing problem.

We have the same problem at work at times, sometimes one building can't talk to another, although they can talk to everyone else, and every other building can talk to the "problem" one. Going into the server room and kicking the main switch brings everything back to normal.

I think it's that combined with a DNS issue. I just had it confirmed by my ISP that they can only reach Google at one IP address:

74.125.45.147

Unfortunately, the DNS seems to direct me to every IP address for Google except that one. And yes, I tried clearing my DNS cache. I can't get anything from any of Google's subdomains, either, which means no image search, no product search... nothing but the web search on that IP I listed.

I guess I'll just have to wait for them to do something about it, which they don't seem too hurried about at the moment. :rolleyes:

They are probably going to wait it out, and hopefully there hardware will repair themselves. Much better than trying to reboot it when your an ISP.

If it is a DNS issue, you can always use OpenDNS.
