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.
http://scedc.caltech.edu/recent/Maps/118-34.html Devore? I'm in Victorville/Apple Valley so too far north.
Just while I did a clean install from the recovery partition and swiped the whole drive before, but luckily it seemed to occur after logging in to the App Store and downloading the additional components.
It was a good decision switching all my important applications to non Mac App Store versions, that I can use and install independent from an Apple ID and unreliable Apple servers.

Okay well this explains why Siri was acting up worse than usual.. maybe it's time I cut her a little slack
Only thing that I can stand TWC for is internet. TV is horrible, but internet always delivers. We are on a 200/20 connection.
Maybe one day I will be able to download my 30 updates that are stacking up :/
Sounds like you might need a technician to come to your residence to check stuff out.
Its not a TWC issue. Again, Apple has verified the issue on their own servers. They are unable to ping their own server. Additionally, I have tested 6 different WiFi networks. (School, work, friends, Starbucks). None can ping the server. Its a much bigger issue that a single person experiencing it. If Apple cannot ping their own server, it must be major.
Thats all I am trying to get at. Its bigger than just me.
I have heard mixed things about TWC, but at least Charter has been pretty reliable for me. All I have is their internet. I wish FiOS would hurry up. Literally, businesses about half a mile north of my house got FiOS, but we got left out.
EDIT: Have you seen the reports of Ontario Ranch? Its a new development in the south part of Ontario that is gonna have Gig-Fiber running to all the houses. I want to know who laid it down for them.
Thats exactly how I was with AT&T rolling out LTE. There are two towers within 5 miles of my house. I happened to live in the area right outside the range of the 2 tower's radius. Literally a tiny little diamond shape area on the map. Everyone besides 2 streets in my city had LTE. Took them a year to get it to my street.
If it's widespread, why are all of us ok???? It's more likely you are having hardware/local network issues
OUCH
Apple has updated its system status page to reflect widespread issues affecting multiple Apple products and services since approximately 7:30 PM Pacific, including the App Store, Apple TV, iBooks Store, iTunes Match, iTunes Store, Mac App Store and Radio.
Many users are also unable to fully access or use the Apple website, Apple Online Store, Apple ID, Apple Music, FaceTime, iCloud, iMessage, Mail, TestFlight and several other Apple services, suggesting possible larger server or DNS issues.
Apple's standard response on its system status page says it is investigating and will provide a status update as more information becomes available.
Update 8:38 PM: Apple's system status page now indicates the issues have been resolved, and users are indeed reporting Apple's services are up and running once again.

I never said its widespread. I did say that Apple is having the same issue at their own facility. Therefore, it is not an issue with just my equipment. Thats what I am trying to get at. I have tested 6 different networks, I have gone through hours of troubleshooting with Apple. We have done absolutely everything, then the engineers tested it with their own equipment and called me today, telling me that they are having the same issues on their end and will be contacting me in 48 hours.
I am glad that you are not having the issue, I wouldn't wish this upon anyone because its miserable that I can't get anything updated or downloaded. It shouldn't take 18 hours to upgrade from 9.0.2 to 9.1 (252 MB OTA).
Yes - First world problems, but so be it.
I tried pinging gs.apple.com too and it also times out for me (in NYC area, on Comcast); however, I *can* open a webpage in Safari at gs.apple.com from the same device at the same time the pings are failing. It could simply be that Apple has turned off ICMP echo (aka ping) on/for that server(/cluster/firewall/etc.)... just a thought....
I think you're confusing this issue with something else. Things have been working fine for me all week with no issues. We were watching a movie on the ATV at about 8:30 MST tonight and the movie just froze. Rebooting the ATV, modem, router, etc. did no good. Movie wouldn't play on my phone, either. Netflix, HBO Now, etc. all worked fine on the ATV. But all is good now. This was a definite, but big blip.
I can also access it via safari and so can the apple engineers. But they are unable to ping just like we can't. They said that's not suppose to happen. Meaning we should be able to ping. I changed the DNS settings on my router and I could ping the server but only 1/5 went through before it timed out. So it's definitely a work in progress on their end. They supplied me with DNS settings that they use on campus.
Not to bicker with Tier2@Apple, but a lot of Apple's servers don't reply to pings. I suggest the next time you deal with them ask them to supply you with an IP address (rather than a DNS name, which you already have, or a new DNS resolver) for the server and try to ping that IP directly. The primary reason I suggest this is that in the ping sample you gave above, gs.apple.com resolves to gs.apple.com.akadns.net. - which indicates the Akamai CDN, which would make it NOT Apple's server.
BTW, I'd also be curious about the DNS info they gave you...
