Sorry to rain on your evidence free assertion fest here, but let me push back a bit here: > Rogers as their primary network. [...] backup network? Rogers. What idiots, right? But there is likely a bit more nuance here which this throw-away comment is ignoring, like using cellular/microwave/fibre/copper in a diverse and high-availability way. I don't know all the details of the network, but all of this stuff works pretty well MOST of the time, so I'd assume their core network is pretty well built and Interac has tight agreements that pay them big bucks for outages. And, don't mistake this for me saying that having 3 national ISPs is good. >"..." is not a good example of networks and failures. Actually, it's a pretty rocking example. Right now, we have zero clue why this happened, and complex built to survive SPOF systems have complex interactions and weird failure modes. But those Canadians are all Cletus and don't know how to configure a router, right? Could this be an incompetent configuration? Sure, and we'll find that out, as this one will likely spark hearings due to the length and impact. Just wondering if a big AWS outage means that the US is "mediocre", or if a failure should reflect the organization that failed?
