Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp.
I've tried pinging Facebook servers and all four major farms are not responding (Fremont, Toronto, Singapore & Johannesburg)

Messenger?

Terrible, I had to come on here for my fix. 
Caprine can't connect, so Messenger appears to be down as well.
Hell on earth I may have to speak to my family

all sorts of stuff affected according to https://downdetector.co.uk/

All down. Isn't life peaceful.
Bet it's costing them a fair bit though. Given the way Facebook has managed various issues, in particular Instagram, I'm wondering if a government somewhere might force them to break up.
Facebook shareholders are already using over the deal struck with the US in light of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The claim is that Facebook paid a higher amount then required in order to keep Zuckerberg out of more serious trouble.

whatsapp been a bit crap for a while. I've noticed messages take a lot longer to go through than on other platforms.

I assume eg. EE users reporting issues as they can't access FB/Insta/WA?
Everything seems fine for me aside from those 3 .. Google services, AWS, Reddit, Netflix etc. are all working fine here.
Soldato
But of those, the ISP ones, how many of those reports are because doldrums have reported the service not working instead of Facebook etc?
Looks to be a DNS issue.

Same, I work for VMware. Definitely looks to be a DNS issue, perhaps a deliberate attack.Working in enterprise networking myself this is always the first thing i picture, that and someone trying to cover up that they made a mistake during a change or similar
