About Downtech

Real-time insights into outages worldwide – powered by real user data and intelligent analysis.

Who we are

Outages.co.uk is a platform for detecting outages, issues and service disruptions across internet services, apps and digital platforms. Users report problems in real time, allowing outages to be identified often faster than on official status pages.

The platform is operated by Downtech, an international network focused on outage detection and analysis. Today, our network is active in more than 50 countries worldwide.

Our story

The idea behind Downtech started with a simple problem: users often notice when something stops working long before official status pages react.

We make these signals visible. Today, our network processes thousands of reports daily and detects outages and issues in real time. By combining these data sources, we create an accurate view of ongoing incidents based on real user behaviour.
