Analysis of Today's CenturyLink/Level(3) Outage
Youtube and twitch (which I belive use akamai?) was down for me in Norway.
I think there were many routes going haywire and it was different depending on your location.

Youtube is Google's own global CDN, Twitch is Fastly.

Only the main twitch site seems to be using fastly, the streams are powered by AWS' infrastructure as far as I can tell, which would be expected, seeing as how Amazon owns Twitch.

Oddly enough the user interface worked somewhat, it was the streams themselves that failed to load for me (even with mpv+youtube-dl)
