This is such a nothing burger. I know it sounds impressive, but this happens quite a lot all over the globe, and it usually gets resolved quite quickly (usually minutes). Packet routing faults are not as uncommon as one may think, especially when ISPs are playing around with their networking stack. Especially DNS related faults. Just two weeks ago Deutsche Telekom managed to take down our entire internet infrastructure (at a big German company) because they were playing around with their DNS. Hell, even service providers like AWS can take down a huge chunk of a country’s internet (and this has happened in 2021 in the US). AWS owns over 33% of the global cloud infrastructure market.
