Given the huge (7.9 - 8.3) Earthquake last night, does anyone have any
information about the status of the Internet in Chile, and in particular
about the status of the undersea fiber links that go down off the West
coast of South America to Chile?
Given that this was an offshore Earthquake, and its magnitude, I would
expect those fiber links to be at risk to undersea landslides.

Maybe on the NAP site for Chile, but I can't find enough information about
network status.
If someone wants ripe ATLAS credits please send me a request off-list with your e-mail address registered for RIPE Atlas.

Hello,
Our internal monitoring tools show that there was a momentary drop in traffic (~30 minutes) coinciding with the earthquake, but traffic quickly returned to normal, and is at normal levels today.
We are serving Chile from Miami.

The RIPE atlas
shows green dots, but if you mouseover you see that the last connects are
all old (pre-Earthquake).

Excellent, thank you.
I am sure there will be many local outages in affected areas, but that
presumably means the country itself is still on the net.

Even without credits, and an anonymous access, you can see that
several probes are reachable in Chile:
True, some are yellow (disconnected) but click on the yellow dot and
check the date: they were down even before the earthquake.
So, first conclusion: there is apparently no widespread Internet
outage.
I've not looked at RIPE Atlas data, but we do have a near-realtime
monitor on BGP data in RIPEstat, where we map resources to a country:
That didn't show anything, so if folks got affected they seem not to
have massive drops in number of prefixes visible, and no ASes that
completely got disconnected.
cheers,
Emile

You're right, I forgot to check that but the 17 RIPE Atlas probes
connected in Chile all answer and can ping NANOG Web site:
% python reachability+retrieve.py -v -r 500 --country CL 50.31.151.73
{'definitions': [{'description': 'Ping 50.31.151.73 from CL', 'af': 4, 'packets': 3, 'type': 'ping', 'is_oneoff': True, 'target': '50.31.151.73'}], 'probes': [{'requested': 500, 'type': 'country', 'value': 'CL'}]}
Measurement #2427363 to 50.31.151.73 uses 17 probes
17 probes reported
Test done at 2015-09-17T14:27:10Z
Tests: 51 successful tests (100.0 %), 0 errors (0.0 %), 0 timeouts (0.0 %), average RTT: 182 ms
That's right. We didn't have any noticeable outage in Santiago,
either local or international, and monitors for .CL gave no
interruption for major cities.

Hi,
The academic network was fully operational during and after the strong earthquake, including to the observatories (ESO, ALMA, AURA, LSST, CTIO, SLOOH).
