1. There is literally no amount of money which will get you 100% uptime. You may be able to buy guarantees of 100% uptime, however...
2. ... which will not change the fact that things still go down, and that if something goes down in a way which violates your signed contract, the most you can hope for is some kind of monetary compensation and, maybe, an apologetic-sounding employee to scream at until you feel a bit better. If you expect to buy someone's care, you're woefully naïve.
My point is that the paying customers don't necessarily get a better service. All they get is limited compensation for enduring the same bad service all of the rest of us get.
- adwf 11y agoIt's true that you can't get 100% uptime. And yes 99.999% is more of an SLA agreement/goal than a generally achievable metric. But Github aren't even managing two nines - they only have 98% uptime over the past month. That's bad for any service.
