Servers?

been playing for an hr and have had no issues.
I had an oddity about an hour ago where I couldn't come out of SC at Palin's base in Open...just got a black screen. Killed the EXE, tried to log i in Open again...black screen. Logged in in Solo and it was fine.
Had a few problems in Mobius this evening at the CG sites, with transitions hanging for minutes before throwing a server timeout or even just a black screen lockup. I never really understood all the complaints about the "regular Sunday night server issues" but I got a taste of it tonight.
Particularly annoying when coming back from a RES to the station; it's over 1000 ls from the gas giants to the station, and if the journey is interrupted by an interdiction that leads to a timeout you're right back at the RES when you log back in. When that happens three times in one flight it starts to feel personal.
Do these problems manifest on the consoles as well or is it largely a PC thing? A colleague has just bought the PS4 version of ED and I'd hate to think his first week's experience was dogged by annoying server errors.

Now, at 1619 CDT, the servers are locking up again. Just tried to exit supercruise at Campbell station. Two minutes of wait. Tried escaping. Black screen. Elite now using 2 GB of mem.
Happening to me at 1619 CDT.

There's something wrong with the internet main infrastructure at the moment. Something is definitely up.
You are lucky
I maintain an ancient server in Edinburgh - co-located and redundantly provisioned - and it's completely offline.
You mean the WHOLE internet? That can happen!? :O
You feed a core router a bad table, when it propagates all sorts of nasty can and will happen.
But that is the entire point of routers - they will find bad routes and route around them - the only thing blocking that is bad tables or crappy carriers insisting on awful peerages.

You see, this is why I'm a space-nerd, rather than a computer-nerd. There are some things I'm better off not knowing. For instance, now I know the internet can break.

Lol... too much info!
Not all the time, I have my fair share of servers problems
Most of the time it's not even a server problem. It's junk ISP's being cheeky or traffic partnerships shoving every UDP packet onto the cheapest ISDN interposer they can find
Things got better, after the Brits went to bed.
It's always breaking. It's how it works
And lets not even mention DNS ghosting
No let's not, heaven forfend. That a real paint the posterior!
