i just checked, and I do get ping responses from that static address.

During a failure period, try using "traceroute".

I'm on CenturyLink's ISP network locally in North Carolina. I route through:

embarqhsd.net (backbone)
quest.net (backbone)
cogentco.net (several nodes)
myfairpoint.net (several nodes - John's local ISP network)

During a failure, "traceroute" will tell you where the relay is failing on the way to John's local network.

Reliability and access to the forum from here is good. If I were to guess, I'd suggest something is failing on your side of a backbone connnection or in all the "cogent" and "fairpoint" nodes things route through...
