As an update regarding the ongoing latency issue:
Some customers may experience increased latency and/or intermittent service interruptions when traffic traverses affected network paths in the US West region. The issue has been linked to two separate fiber cuts impacting an upstream network provider in the Los Angeles and Honolulu areas.
The upstream provider's engineers are actively working to address both fiber cuts, and their third-party fiber vendor has also been engaged.
Our Network Administration team is continuing to monitor the situation closely. At this time, our monitoring indicates that customer sites remain operational, though some users may experience intermittent increased latency depending on their network path.
We will provide further updates as more information becomes available. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
