They have a status page[0] that you can subscribe to for email/rss/atom notifications. You could use an IFTTT recipe to send the RSS feed to twitter[1] or even a Slack channel[2], if you wanted.

Personally, I use Uptimerobot[3] to monitor my nodes and post any issues into a Slack channel. This lets me know if it's a problem with my VPS or Linode (or any of the other providers I use).

Yes, or a company that isn't providing the service you're paying for could be honest about it and let you know. Especially when it happens to fall on a major holiday. I am moving my account ASAP and probably wouldn't if I had heard from them before I found out myself.
