It is pretty easy to tell when MLU has been down
It is pretty obvious when the MLU server has been down for any amount of time. If the number of post for a 12 hour period is much below 15 then it has been off or difficult to reach for a couple of hours at least. Norm for 24 hours looks to be 24-26 posts.
If there are a normal number of posts when I have not been able to get in or gotten an error message then I know pretty well that the problem has been with my internet provider.
This group of people is pretty prolific in responding to forum posts it almost like an open dialog or a giant party line telephone where people are picking up the phone every now and then to see what the neighbors are saying.
From a more general sense it is easy for our families to know when MLU is down, signs include irritability, inability to focus on conversations, agitations and sudden cravings to be working out in the garage. In other words sever MLU withdrawal symptoms.
