Then every time Google's DNS goes down, all of your customers will be
calling... LOL

As determined by DHCP adds a horrible layer of complexity for a cheap

How about ping to 8.8.8.8?

A red/green led would probably suffice for this purpose.

*An app for my phone? Yuck
*Something that pushes to cutomers letting them know we're
having issues? Yuck
*Something that let's the customer verify their particular
service is good/not? That'd be great!
*Web portal for billing, easy peasy
Why a node fails probably won't be detectable by a machine -
in some cases it's difficult for a person to narrow it down
(radio, connectors, cables, ethernet, surge, etc) but I'd
like to see ideas on this of course.
I use/suggest an outgoing message. IF the customer is having
issues and they do call us, they hear we're having issues and
hang up. This means that we're not telling 100 people there
are issues when 25 are effecting ending up with 75 calls next
month saying we owe them a credit when they had nothing to do
with an outage.

What I really want is an integrated system that isn't
stuck in the 90's.
I want the customer to have an app on their phone that
tells them when their network is having issues and why.
I want it to also remind them to pay their bill and
provide a lazy/easy way to do that.
I want that same system to have an engineer app that
tells us when nodes fail and why.
So if a node goes down and it's important, it should show
up on my phone and I can take action.
One of those actions would be to message to outage
impacted customers the ETA to fix etc.
Emails from Cacti don't count.
