Big time data outages across the Americas?

I haven’t had a BIS connection for about an hour. Apparently it isn’t just happening to me though. A few others let me know through Twitter that they are also experiencing data outages ranging from lack of BBM, no email reconciliation, and no internet browsing.

Here is what I found over at DataOutages.com:

International issue,happening only in the americas at this point.

Even though it says it is a pin to pin issue it could still be related. I get emails from time to time but my BBM is super slow and web browsing is dead.

Anyone else having issues?
