Belize experienced a significant internet connectivity disruption in the early hours of August 26, 2026. The event lasted approximately 80 minutes, starting at 01:30 UTC, and primarily impacted network routing and data reachability. The overall severity score for the disruption was 228,383.
Technical Details
The disruption manifested across two key technical signals. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal, which measures the global visibility of network routing paths, recorded a severity score of 125 across two separate 15-minute periods. Concurrently, the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across active IPv4 network blocks, recorded a more severe score of 3,647 over the event’s full duration. This indicates a substantial drop in successful connections to Belizean IP address space. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by 02:50 UTC.
