Personally I would have thought that nznog is an appropriate forum to use to announce major outages - not that any of ours are important enough to mention here. Am I wrong about that?
Major outages that affect non-customers could are probably okay, on the other hand outages that affect just customers should probably be announced via normal channels. Obviously there is some crossover since (for example) if 10% of Telstra customers were offline then people other other ISPs would have had problems talking to them and thus would have been affected. In general if people have problems with you not being properly informed about outages then they should discuss them with their account manager. Obviously reliability of a service and communication during problems should be part of your buying decision. -- Simon J.
