This would have only affected some folks in North America sporadically,

everyone.
Sorry this happened, everything should be back to normal now.
I think it would make sense to do a second ping to some other server if
the first one to
fedoraproject.org fails, for robustness. Maybe to
redhat.com, or something that should never be down like
google.com (my
vote), or to someplace that promises not to track users, like
duckduckgo.com (hardly matters much for a connectivity check?).
