I'm confused. Isn't listening for spikes in complaints about outages a great way to detect them? I know for a fact some service companies monitor social media channels for this purpose (among others). I'd be surprised if that wasn't more or less standard practice.
I've checked Down Detector for ISP outages in my area many times now. It's always confirmed them before my ISP did.
