It's not that bad, but not amazing in my opinion, yes they reply, yes they will answer promptly and share info if you prompt them - tell me what happened etc.. But it's not very forthcoming, delayed acknowledgements of data center wide issues has been an issue for several years, every pledge to update the status page within minutes has never materialized - I think I saw an update within 15minutes once and nearly fell out my chair, but it's still poor when you have to hit Twitter to find dozens of other people with broken connectivity and find the momentary relief that it's probably not your VMs.
