I'm nitpicking on the title, but "widespread" is one word, not two.

Honestly, at this point I've found HN to be the best "Status Page" for this sort of thing. I came here first when I found issues and fiddling around with my custom DNS lookup hierarchy didn't help. FiOS customer in DC Metro.

It would be interesting if someone could automate something to pick out HN outage discussions and make an HN driven "downdetector" page.

Except these posts seem to regularly get taken down or flagged. This isn't even on the front page anymore it seems.

I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing this. I could usually rely on HN to not be so heavily "filtered" for a lack of a better term but I have noticed the slide into a more controlled/gamed PR outlet.

Right now in my part of Bucks County, PA, FiOS' gigabit speed internet is running about normal speed for download and about 3/4 of normal for upload.
