Ookla®, a global leader in connectivity intelligence, has
released its latest analysis on the largest internet outages
during the first nine months of 2024. The report, based on

Downdetector® data, aims to analyse the largest challenges
associated with service disruptions, as dependence on
digital services increases.

Downdetector by Ookla is the world’s most popular platform

for online service status information. By leveraging over 25
million monthly reports from individual users, real-time
analysis, and verification of outage reports, Downdetector

companies, banks, and other organizations understand the
size and scale of incidents — and rapidly act to resolve

issues that matter most to their customers.

Key findings from the report include:

● Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and
WhatsApp were most impacted, affecting millions of users.

● Furthermore, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and
gaming services were also significantly impacted,

underscoring both the complexity of the internet itself, and
the needs of network-reliant services on this complex

ecosystem.

● Though the outages were worldwide, key regions like the
Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa,
and the United States experienced substantial service

disruptions.
