That's the best method.

Over the years I have noticed that problems crop up with voice mail, on
line manager, or other stuff. Even though they are a "communications"
company, Cingular does not do a very good job of notifying its customers of
the problem, whether it is local or nation wide. This could be accomplished
by a news flas on the website, or a text to affected area code phones. I
guess they don't mind hundreds of thousands of customers calling about a
problem and tying up their 611 centers.

Sometimes the best (only) solution is to just wait.

More than a few ISPs do the same thing. In the bigger companies where
things move slowly, the best and the brightest are often afraid to
implement these sorts of things due to management and legal concerns.

Web.com had a major system-wide outage for almost 2 days for hosting
customers early last month and nothing was ever mentioned on their
support site. You had to phone to find out all their servers were down.
