My main point was, this is a good medium for announcement. I have just come from places where our ISP's (even if they lease bandwidth off major telcos) have generally had good communication, even to say "Somethings wrong with national traffic, we are looking into it". What I am trying to say is, that it's all about peace of mind and whether or not to put time into investigating my end.
In which case you should discuss this with your account manager and ask him things like who exactly at the company is allowed to post to nznog especially out problems the company is seeing. Right now the Companies just see the downside of bad publicity from admitting to problems (especially when a techie rather than a PR guy is doing to admitting) publicly. If you show (especially with your wallet) that there is an upside in that companies that are open about their problems and work with the community get more business then the account managers will push it to happen. -- Simon J.
