About outage monitoring in United States of America
This page groups tracked service updates that mention this country or a datacenter region there. A country mention does not by itself confirm local impact or monitoring of every service used there. Check the linked provider update for the affected product, region and users.
What we monitor
GlobalOutageMap aggregates updates from connected official service status sources. This page groups updates that mention this country or a datacenter region there. That does not establish comprehensive local ISP coverage, affected resident counts or countrywide service health.
Services mentioned in tracked updates
Service and country mentions provide context. Check the linked official incident update for the affected product, region and users. News and visitor reports are not official status confirmation.
When to check this page
Users in the United States should consult this page if they observe multiple, unrelated applications or services failing simultaneously across different devices. Situations such as an application appearing broken for all users, or repeated login failures, could indicate a wider outage. If digital payment methods are consistently declined or users are caught in login loops, these are also potential indicators. While this page offers aggregated insights, it is always advisable to cross-reference with the individual service provider's official status page for the most direct and specific updates regarding their services.

FAQ - United States of America outages
Is the internet down in United States?
A widespread internet outage across the entire United States is uncommon, as the internet is a decentralised network. If you are experiencing connectivity issues, it is more likely to be an outage affecting specific services, your local Internet Service Provider, or a particular cloud region. This page tracks those specific service disruptions rather than assuming a full national internet collapse. Review the incident list to see if a vital service you rely on is experiencing problems.
Which cloud regions serve United States?
Major hyperscale cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) operate numerous data centre regions within the United States. These include diverse geographical locations such as US East (Northern Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon, Northern California), and Central US (Illinois, Iowa, Texas). These regions host the digital infrastructure that underpins a vast array of online services, serving customers across the country and globally.
Why do apps go down even when my connection works?
Even if your local internet connection is functional, applications can fail due to issues within the shared cloud infrastructure they rely on. Many apps are hosted on cloud platforms, and an outage in a specific cloud data centre region, or a disruption to a common underlying service like a DNS provider or content delivery network, can render them inaccessible. Your internet connection may be fine, but the path to the app's servers is disrupted, or the servers themselves are experiencing problems.
How quickly is this page updated?
This page is updated continuously through an automated ingestion pipeline that monitors official status pages, technical news feeds, and aggregate community reports. While the system aims for near real-time updates, there can be a brief delay between an incident occurring and its reflection here. It is important to note that this platform aggregates signals and is not an official source for any specific provider; always consult the provider's direct status page for definitive information.
What should I do during an outage in United States?
During an outage, generally refrain from attempting actions such as redeploying applications or making sudden infrastructure changes, as this can exacerbate or delay recovery. The most effective approach is to first confirm the outage on this page or the provider's official status page. Then, monitor for updates from the affected service provider. They will typically provide communication channels for status reports and estimated times to resolution. Patience is often required as engineers work to restore service.
