These webpages most likely aren't hosted the same place as the NA game servers. Level3 isn't the only provider, it just so happens that it is the route into the SEs NA datacenter for a lot of players. Other services are different places, either on Level 3s backbone but not in the "damaged" path, or on other significant backbones that aren't having problems. So yes, we could (and do) have access to these forums and other online games and sites.
