Rogers services restored for most customers following Canada-wide outage

Source: Rogers

This morning, Rogers has sent out an update saying it has restored services for most of its customers. Its service outage on Friday shut down millions of people's banking, transport, and even government access. According to police across the country, there were issues with getting emergency services via 911 to work. Canadians who needed internet access crowded cafes and public libraries that still had connectivity. Canada's border services agency reported the outage also affected its mobile app for incoming travellers. 

According to Rogers, its service is back online, and traffic volumes are returning to normal. However, it warns that there might still be a delay for full service. So, if you still aren't able to access certain services, this might be to blame.

Amazon experiences rare outage in the US

A glitch seems to have affected Amazon earlier and ended up showing shoppers dog photos instead of product pages they were looking for. Shoppers in the U.S. home page got a message "Sorry something went wrong on our end" with a different picture of a dog each time. The outage seems to have happened around 2 p.m. Pacific Time yesterday. The cause of it unknown and Amazon hasn't commented yet on the matter. The outage seemed to have affected large parts of the Northeast and West Coast of the US. With Amazon considered as a big supplier of web servers, having outages like this will draw attention to them. Thankfully, it doesn't happen as often and it's been reported that the site is up again.
