I often find out about these sorts of global internet issues early because of a little project of mine: https://statusgator.io It just monitors the status pages of lots of different services. When I get 30 notices from various unrelated services at once all with comments like "Network connectivity issues", I know some kind of routing issue is plaguing the 'net.

What do you use to monitor the status of the respective sites? Ping/head request to the site/api?

A fiber cut in Oregon could be responsible (https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/2015-June/007906.h...). I've been seeing connectivity issues with us-west-2 for most of the day.

There was also a fiber cut in San Francisco area this morning (http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/06/30/california-int...).

Note at the top of http://status.aws.amazon.com/:

Internet connectivity issues

We are currently monitoring an external Internet provider issue that is causing interrupted service connectivity to AWS services for some customers. AWS services are not affected and continue to operate normally.
