- jessaustin 11y agoWe're talking about mobile internet service. "Two" is probably doable. "Four" OTOH would be less than 53 minutes of downtime a year, which I might believe if you were standing still, on a high point, in an area that didn't have much going on electrically. I would not expect to see that while driving, or perhaps I mean that I have not seen that while driving. But GP is wrong anyway; see sibling comment.
- newobj 11y agoOkay, good theory crafting... From http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09digi.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/business/09digi.html?_r=0: "A home user’s Internet connection, with a laptop using Wi-Fi, would be available about 99.8 percent of the time, estimates Mr. Hölzle at Google, which equates to about 18 hours of cumulative downtime a year." So yeah, two nines. Also, here's the results of me pinging google.com from the network of my "large technology company" who employees me. 652 packets transmitted, 646 packets received, 0.9% packet loss. Two nines.
