Try to download an App via Wifi, and tell me that it downloads at the same speed it always has.
There is a physical problem with gs.apple.com server. If you try to ping it, times out.

There is no technical reason why an apple server issue would affect your ability to use your home wifi
Now that I think about it, I was having a problem earlier today downloading app updates on my iPhone, and last night on my Apple TV. It seemed really slow. Really ****** of Apple to just now address it though.
EDIT: No problems with iMessage it seems, message came back with "Delivered". FaceTime untested ATM, iTunes, App Store and Apple Support Discussion still down (weird). Server is still having problems with reachability and caching, iCloud.com is slow to respond.
gs.apple.com is timing out when you try to reach it via Wifi. The issue is not timing out when you try to reach it via cellular. I tethered my iPhone to my MBA and ran the same ping - no issue. Apple engineers have duplicated the same issue.
I know it seems weird saying this but why should an Apple router rely on Apple services to function correctly on a normal basis (disregarding firmware updates from apple, obviously). I mean, I'm not a hardware/network engineer but a router just routes on its own. It seems kind of sketch for Apple to have it setup like that.
Then you are lucky. Just because YOU don't have the issue, doesn't mean the issue doesn't exist. It clearly exists if Apple engineers can duplicate it while at an Apple Facility.
I am now able to access services that were previously unreachable. Hope it stays that way. (Midwest USA)
That's backwards. Just because you've been having issues all week, doesn't mean everybody else has, and it doesn't mean that apple is at fault in your case.
I don't believe there is a widespread issue. Sounds like you have an isolated problem. Sorry, hope it gets resolved soon though!
Same here out East. Well Apple music was a little flaky on the loading page but my playlist worked fine this afternoon. I hope it all works for me tomorrow because I've got important emails to deal with. Goodness what is wrong with autocorrect these days? It's "tomorrow" not "Tom Eros" you asinine iPad.
Wrong - Read this single thread. There are others that have been having the issue all week. Apple has verified the issue does exist. Therefore, my original statement is correct. Just because they have not experienced it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Logical fallacy.
And Apple has admitted fault to me personally. They said there is nothing wrong with my end, its all on them.
Ironic, just had a small earthquake too. What a night.
In other news, I can finally re-authenticate all my apps that got screwed up thanks to the certificates. Tweetbot, here I come!

Honestly, I was having trouble loading Google+ posts on my iPhone so I thought it was my internet (Verizon FIOS) when Apple TV started not working. If it hadn't been for this post, I'd have chalked it up to a FIOS fluke (which is extremely rare for me).
We just had a small earthquake here in Southern California. The end is near, but at least all of my Apple online services are working again. Lol.
