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.

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

downdetector.com did well today. Front page showed a generalized web issue, and any one of the individual services' status pages showed it was geographically localized to the midatlantic and northeast US.

It seems to have recovered for me. I am using FIOS in Brooklyn.

Same, also fios in Brooklyn. Not getting my full speeds but I am getting 100Mbps, which is far better than the 60 Kbps I was getting.

Ironically things recovered within 30 seconds me of messaging our systems team to ask if the development VPN was having an outage. That's like a magic rule of internet outages, isn't it? Nothing works until you try to show someone else the issue, then it all works.
