After the almost continual red, things did improve and it was orange all yesterday for me, but unfortunately it's now returned to red. If you click on "Help > Family Tree Maker Tech Support" in FTM2017 you'll see the latest blog entry about the situation, which was updated yesterday. Here's an extract:
"[...] Our engineers have been in communication with Ancestry's to make progress on localizing the problems that have affected syncing during the past couple weeks.
Over the weekend we've seen far fewer interruptions in connectivity and we're hoping to have normal sync conditions very soon. In the meantime, sync weather may continue to be steady orange (unless there are serious interruptions and it goes red) until the system is stable."
Evidently those "serious interruptions" have actually happened, but I'm still hopeful things will settle down soon.
