please provide at least (so everyone else can verify/help/troubleshoot): 1) from location X 2) site Y with protocol Z (which resolves to a.b.c.d currently) 3) traceroute to siteY (address a.b.c.d)
In addition to providing useful debug info, there are some good places to check: http://sqa.ring.nlnog.net/ (an attempt at outage correlation based on NLNOG RING data) https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/ (people (self-)reporting outages) http://isitdownorjust.me/ http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ (self-test websites from various vantage points)
