  • AT&T DNS Outage Disrupts Internet Access Across the U.S.
    October 25, 2025, 5:26 PM EDT. A widespread AT&T DNS outage disrupted internet access for thousands nationwide, starting just before midnight ET Friday. Downdetector reports and outage maps show problems across major cities and regions, with users citing DNS lookup failures and slow connections. The issue manifested as the DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error, indicating a Domain Name System failure. Some users resolved problems by flushing DNS caches or switching to public DNS services like Google DNS (8.8.8.8), but a carrier-wide outage typically requires a fix from the provider. The incident underscores how reliant we are on stable DNS and network infrastructure, and it raises questions about remediation timelines and root cause from AT&T.
