I've been seeing it offered more and more in recent years for colo ip transit. Just do a quick search for "sla 100% uptime network".
Apart from one of the latest colo providers we use I've witnessed downtime with every single one that offered ip transit with a 100% SLA. That's why we use at a minimum 3 geographically distant providers. So far this approach has not let us down.
- cagenut 16y agothats because they stick in the fine print "once a month scheduled half hour outages don't count, also anything under 5 minutes doesn't count"
- xd 16y agoThere should be a law against that. Reminds me of the "unlimited mobile phone internet" plans here in the UK which in the fine print resolve to "fair use policy of 1GB a month) .. why can't companies just call a spade a spade.
- Silhouette 16y ago> why can't companies just call a spade a spade. Slightly off-topic, but in case there's genuine curiosity there: AIUI, most of the advertising standards rulings about "fair use" policies related to Internet and particularly mobile bandwidth were made quite some time ago, when expectations were very different. It is possible that this was not entirely coincidental, and was motivated by the legal teams at major service providers who saw the current situation coming.
