Well, you can outsource the NOC, but no amount of remote handwaving is going to help when you need hands on-site. In the end you get what you pay for.

- amazon_not 11y agoIn all fairness that outage was due to a subsea cable break and those require both specialized equipment and time to get the equipment on-site. ... and it's a really good example of getting what you pay for. I really do not think the islanders are paying Centurylink enough to be able to fix subsea cable faults with a 4 hour lead time. That being said Centrylink's lack of redundancy and fallover links is another matter.
