Interestingly, just barely cracking the list at 483,000 reports is the Bell outage that took place back in May. To jog your memory, this outage affected both Telus and Bell customers across Quebec and Ontario after an update to Bell’s routers caused them to go down right at 9 a.m. ET.
Spotify’s Apr. 16 outage also appeared on the list, with 601,000 reports on Downdetector when the music streaming giant went down around 8:00 a.m. ET.
