Belize Connectivity Degradation Lasted Nearly Four Days
A significant degradation in internet connectivity affected Belize for nearly four days, beginning on June 18 and ending on June 22. The disruption was most pronounced in network reachability metrics, with a severity score of 155,422 recorded for the primary affected signal.
Technical Details
The disruption was observed between 06:20 UTC on June 18 and 00:30 UTC on June 22, lasting approximately 3.8 days. The primary affected signal was ping-slash24, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 prefixes. This signal recorded a severity score of 155,422.
Other signals showed varying impacts. The gtr.sarima signal, which forecasts deviations from an expected traffic baseline, recorded a drop of 28% from its peak. The merit-nt signal, a backscatter measurement used as an aggregate connectivity proxy, showed a 57% drop from its peak. The bgp signal, which measures control plane visibility for prefixes, remained stable throughout the event.
The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
