Guyana experiences brief internet connectivity degradation
Guyana experienced a brief but notable degradation in internet connectivity on May 25, 2026. The disruption lasted approximately 80 minutes, centered around 19:00 UTC. The event was characterized by a significant drop in network reachability.
Technical Details
The disruption recorded a severity score of 1,946. The primary affected metric was the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 network prefixes. This signal showed a 35% drop from its peak level during the event window.
Other network signals showed varied behavior. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal, which reflects control plane visibility for network prefixes, remained stable. The gtr.sarima signal, which tracks deviation from expected traffic baselines, showed a 48% drop from its peak. The ucsd-nt signal, an aggregate connectivity proxy based on backscatter measurements, showed a complete drop during the period.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by 20:20 UTC.
