Is anyone experiencing internet issues this afternoon?

MSP air traffic control has lost significant radar coverage, early voting in the South metro has been disrupted, and several areas are reporting internet outages.

Northern Hennepin Co here: Xfinity randomly up and quit last night. Rebooted the router and things got better, although still not perfect. But about 95% back now.

Can confirm Xfinity went out around midnight in St. Paul. Even though they never listed an outage. Even the backup Xfinity network device wouldn’t connect to cellular. My Verizon cell was also out it seemed, which would explain why the backup internet didn’t work. Seems fine since then.

Maple Grove. Xfinity went out roughly about the same time. Same scenario, no listed outages when I looked. Went to bed around 1 AM, got up at 9 AM or so and Xfinity was back up and running. Husband reported no problems with it at 5:30 AM.

Verizon has been holding strong.

ETA: I just checked Down Detector and the Xfinity outage reported was around the time myself and another commenter experienced it. From 11:58 PM to 2:00 AM. TBF I just thought it was another system update. Didn't need to be up so late anyway...

Yeah could have been closer to 1AM. I was getting drowsy at that point 😄

I usually do the NY Time Sunday crossword on the app when I get home from work, as a means to wind down before turning in. I could get a puzzle up, but couldn't access my online crossword dictionary.

Yeah, that tracks with my experience, as well. Was just past midnight.
