Quick check:
Internet Health Report (shows latency over major backbone providers)
http://www2.internetpulse.com/1/
Nothing abnormal there...

CERT (US Computer Emergency Readiness Team) says
http://www.cert.org/nav/index_red.html
http://www.us-cert.gov/current/current_activity.html
nothing unusual is going on

SANS Internet Storm Center
http://isc.sans.org/
reports nothing unusual

Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.mspx
doesn't have any unusual patches available

SecurityFocus
http://securityfocus.com/
Is still reporting on the "keylogging != wiretapping" case - nothing 
unusual there

Infosecdaily
http://www.infosecdaily.net/
has no new news

And bugtraq
http://securityfocus.com/archive/1
Doesn't seem to have any big found bugs currently reported.

So I don't understand what problem there might be.  I suspect that 
holiday internet traffic tonight will spike slightly (but noticably) as 
people look up weather and travel related information for the US 
Thanksgiving holiday.

If there's a severe problem elsewhere int he world, I'd suspect that a 
key backbone might be dark, but people would report that instantly if 
that were the case.

Probably will find out tomorrow if it's anything especially unusual.
