DownDetector is showing everything down during that period, including Google.

I suspect DownDetector itself suffered some outages during this period, which it shows as outages of every service it monitors.

That's not how DownDetector works. It just relies on reports from users. The real failure case is users not understanding why they can't access whatever end service. Maybe they blame that service, maybe they blame their ISP, maybe they blame something else.
