Google servers are down, right now in India!

Feb 15, 2008

What I thought was impossible happened today! I couldn’t access Google.com well, you must be wondering that it will be my internet connection but to be honest, it isn’t the problem of my internet connection as everything else just works fine.

It’s been almost like 30 min. that Google is working on and off for me and few of my friends in different locations in India only. So, I can surely say that there is some problem going on with Google servers at this time in India, not sure about others countries though.

Here are the screenshots of Trace Route of Google.com & Gmail.com :

Are you also experiencing the problems in accessing Google ? Don’t forget to tell us the country you are in.

At which time did this happen? IST

Around 3PM IST I too had problems accessing Gmail and Google. Not sure if that was a local problem or if Google was down.

Well, frankly speaking, i was not facing any probs with Google. It was working fine with me. I logged out at around 3:15, cant say after that.

I didnt face this problem, may be because I have opened Gmail on US machine. But I searched for Google around 4.30pm without any issue.

30 mins is quite a long time for a company like Google….Must have been a really bad mess, I guess…

I checked my mail around that time and it was working fine. I think there was a problem with few of the servers.

Hey alka, We can’t do any thing about it. It seems that it may be a temporary glitch…coz if everything else is working fine and it was only google then could be a temporary glitch only.

It’s May 20th and the Google sites, including gmail, are also inaccessible. Everything else works just fine…this is quite crippling…like fzlc says above…this is also the first time I am seeing this! I am in India.

Noticed it since may 20th. This is embarassing. Gmail is not working too. Good thing I have outlook configured with gmail. POP3 access is still active.

All Google websites are down. First I suspect my office IT admin has blocked google;-), then I thought that mozilla/IE has blocked google sites, I tried crome and finally I get to know that all google servers are down:-((((
