I've been on Charter all day VPN'd into work with no interruption. Although I have a business connection at home, so it's possible I'm avoiding whatever middleboxes they jam residential traffic into.

my ISP Cox, had server failure for several hours about 2 weeks ago. It was a DNS issue as well. I don't want to take 2 unrelated things and call them similar, but one has to imagine if some of the above posters are substantiated several huge players losing peering/connectivity and 2 very large ISPs having non-trivial multi-hour multi-region DNS outages is bad. Horrible coincidence.

I have been losing google docs intermittenly all day (and I have been working nearly exclusively in google docs all day) maybe just me, but I have been unable to upload photos (same one as yesterday to gdocs) and from drive/docs dash I would lose connectivity and have sever lag loading up a doc I just worked in. Had to close browser several times.
