No problem here. Might be a problem with your internet providers DNS server. That's the most common cause of outages.

A Google News search for "internet outage" turned up some current articles, but ironically I couldn't get to the sites.

"Extensive damage to two undersea cables has thrown Internet activity across large parts of India, Asia and the Middle East, out of gear. According to reports, a ship anchoring off Egypt's Alexandria coast cut through the Indian-owned FLAG and also the SEA-ME-WE cable on Wednesday, leading to an unprecedented disruption in international connectivity."

According to CNN, that happened on January 31. Internet failure hits two continents Probably not the cause of this one.

I remembered hearing about that one Jan 31, didn't remember details, figured it was a new one. I used Google's "news" tab and, since that came up as new... well, you know... :)
