Internet outages

Here's a question about the content of nanog (the list)... I was originally pointed to nanog as a place to hear about Internet outage/problems. Well, so far (over about a month), I think I've seen two messages that were relayed from Sprint about more-or less real-time problem statuses. So, here's the question: is there any good (better :-) way to get real-time (or so) notification of nationwide or local problems? My point is that I run IP connectivity for a company of 200 heavy Internet users. Almost daily they ask (whiningly...) " I can't get to foo.edu. What's up" (or it's "Awful slow getting to foo.edu..."). Any good (timely and valid way) to tell the status of the 'net? (Now I do know about the Internet Weather sites, but I was originally looking for more along the Sprint announcements from all major network providers saying that there was trouble on the East Coast, etc. I'm not sure the Internet Weather site tells you the same thing, especially not real-time... Any pointers? Thanks! (Now, I'm not saying the list hasn't been informative, especially the dozens of messages about the DNS wars and NANOG politics! :-) I joined the list right then and stuck it out and glad to see it calmed down! --- Lee Sweet leesweet () propellernet com
