Where our checks saw it

Each glowing city had slow or failing checks during the incident, shown at its worst. We test from 6 cities, so other places may have been hit too.

Our checks, city by city

Each point is one check every 30 minutes, from three hours before the incident to three hours after. Coloured points are the checks we counted as slower or failing. The shaded area shows how far above the usual time they were.
