(Credit: Screenshot by Tom Krazit/CNET) Facebook struggled to maintain service availability

today during the same period of time as a prominent Internet service provider dealt with a

major outage.

We're getting countless reports of Facebook problems from users both inside and outside of

CNET, with most reporting that the site has been up and down all morning. Facebook

acknowledged that it was experiencing "latency issues" with its API, but it was not

immediately clear what was causing those issues.

However, during the same period of time representatives for Qwest, a major Internet service

provider, used their Twitter account to alert customers to "a known outage in WA" that "our

techs are FFXIV Gilcurrently

working to restore service as soon as possible." A quick check of the Internet Health

Report around midday Pacific Time showed major packet loss on several key routes between

Qwest and other Tier 1 providers, such as SBC and Saavis.

It's not at all clear that the two issues are related: representatives from Facebook and

Qwest have not returned multiple requests for clarification. We'll continue to update this

post as we receive more information, and please let us know if you're having problems with

Facebook and where you're located, as these issues can often be regional.

Updated 1:22 p.m. PDT: Facebook released a statement: "We are experiencing an issue with a

third party networking provider that is causing problems for some people trying to connect

to Facebook. FFXIV GilWe are in contact

with this provider in order to explore what can be done to resolve the issue. In the

meantime, we are working on deploying changes to bypass the affected connections."
