If I stretch my mind back over 20 years to when I used to work in telecoms, it doesn't need to be that much more than a single exchange failure (which could be as simple as someone fucking up a line of code in very unlucky cases but more likely a hardware or power failure), with the problems then cascading out - e.g. data traffic re-routed to other pipes which then overload causing more rerouting and overloading, etc.
If very widespread, this would be likely a network failure in a major regional carrier. In Europe, there are generally national carriers and then international carriers. I'm guessing the USA due to its size tends more to local carriers, regional/national carriers, and then international.

We had a big outage in Australia on one carrier a few months ago. Which also took the trains down in one state, because the capital city's station was reliant on that carrier, or somesuch, and it spread.
Yeah, the Optus outage. If memory serves it was because one of their engineers applied a patch to a core switch that utterly fucked it and like @Ag3ma said, just cascaded outward.
