Should we get a refund? :)
Sign up with Objective Uptime Inc. and tell them which vendors you have SLAs with. OU will monitor them on your behalf, compare the actual global availability to what's displayed on the vendor's status page, and if the outage exceeds agreed limits, OU can even automatically file suits on your behalf for breach of contract and misrepresentation (assuming the vendor's status page was showing all peachy).
I regret that uptime became a clause in SLAs, or a reputation/marketing thing. I don't care about how many 9s are after your decimal, I just want to know if your service is down or if something is wrong on my end.
Based out of Virginia, USA for the initial check, followed by a random sample of 19 locations around the world to confirm it's actually down.
