At this point maybe they should consider sending out announcements when it is working instead

I've always thought it was unfair that the 9 in 9% uptime doesn't count.

"1 nine" tends to mean "90% availability" i.e. 37 days of downtime per year.

9% availability would be an uptime of ~33 days a year, I think at that point, we're pushing the semantics of "available" if the service is down the entire year except one month on average.

I offer a nine fives colo.

Hey, there's still plenty if you don't mind the leading 8

Have they aimed for 86 uptime?

67 uptime should be within reach for them.

I once saw a sign at a railway station in the UK that actually did say "normal service will be operating between the 12th of July and 18th of August" (or something like that). Made me laugh. At the time Anglia Railways had a rail replacement bus literally every weekend.

I thought they should rename to Anglia Busways and have bus replacement trains instead.
