Well considering this is 200 (since 100 are already back up) of how many million? 99.999% doesn't seem too far off.
Meanwhile no network, whether electricity, water, or information technology can defend itself from construction workers tearing up infrastructure or other accident.
Again, this is only 200 customers, not 200,000. A car crashing into a cable box on the street or into a telephone pole would bring down more customers.
This isn't news other than touting the reliablility of service such that such a small outage makes news. |
