Facebook Network Issues Blamed On Network Provider

facebook bug Facebook Network Issues Blamed On Network ProviderSome of Facebook’s users today were without access to the popular social media site, an outage Facebook officials say occured due a third party networking provider error.

The outage didn’t affect all users and Facebook told social media site Mashable:

“We are experiencing an issue with a third party networking provider that is causing problems for some people trying to connect to Facebook,”  adding  “We are in contact with this provider in order to explore what can be done to resolve the issue. In the meantime, we are working on deploying changes to bypass the affected connections.”

The problem with third party issues? Good luck trying to get an ETA for when the issue will be fixed and you’re left with nothing.

    It would be great to see how this would affect some face book users, I’m guessing they probably start to panic and start to look for all sorts of solutions on Google

    I wonder if this means Zuckerberg is going to have to hold off for a bit on his promise to give Jersey schools that $100 million “donation.”
