I was with a small company called BRSK who did the FTTP rollout in my area, I think they have changed hands a few times now, but the sheer reliability was legit 5-9s. I don't legally fully understand how small companies ended up getting lots of money from the government for FTTP but they absolutely crushed it in my area. Shame they got mega review-bombed because they installed telegraph poles outside people's houses and that's apparently evil
> the sheer reliability was legit 5-9s
That made me think about mine...
a) FTTC:
25 months and only outages were 17m36s, 47m7s, 31m22s gives ~99.991
b) FTTP:
16 months and a single 40m11s outage gives ~99.994
(Both using 30 day months, the answers remain the same to 5sf even if I calculate the durations more accurately.)
I'd happily take 4 nines for residential broadband.
