No, I don't think so (and I'm also in Minnesota). I'm going to guess that the increased load is just pushing services over the edge.
Edit: Also, interestingly enough, I am now reliably hitting Cloudflare's ORD (Chicago) datacenter instead of MSP. If you visit https://snazz.xyz/cdn-cgi/trace (or any other Cloudflare-backed website), what comes after the COLO= for you?
Getting rerouted to ORD instead of DEN as well. Coworkers have been complaining about slow internet all day, there’s been customer complaints about slow load times with our products as well.
You can test Cloudflare at https://cloudflare-test.judge.sh/#snazz.xyz
So ORD is probably just higher-capacity, which is why free plan users like me are getting routed to it?
Most likely, the other/normal DC is likely either overloaded or has part of its hardware under maintenance.
STL! Ha. Wonder what's going on. I'm on CenturyLink here in the Twin Cities.
Yeah, that is strange. I’m on Comcast. They’re probably just attempting to reroute traffic to higher-capacity links at the expense of latency.
