Cloudflare's Q3 2026 Radar review recorded 49 Internet disruptions between July and September. It attributes 19 incidents to government-directed shutdowns, 14 to power outages, and five to natural disasters.
Infrastructure still shapes connectivity
- Power failures affected networks in countries including Cuba, Honduras, Guam, and Ukraine.
- A power failure at a Honduras interconnection facility affected at least 11 major providers, according to the report.
- The review also describes outages linked to natural disasters, conflict, and government policies.
The quarterly analysis is based on traffic observed across Cloudflare's network and is not a census of every Internet outage. Its figures describe the events Cloudflare Radar detected and annotated.
For operators, the report is a reminder to consider power, transit, and shared infrastructure dependencies when planning service continuity.
