#16I 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?

#19A 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...).
