I continue to be irritated that services that consistently return errors are characterized as "increased error rates" or "increased latency". They seem to use those phrases for any kind of outage.
- dylan604 4y agoIt's all networking issues as you're remotely access them remotely, so of course it's increased error rates or increased latency. When a piece of gear stops responding the network tries to self-heal as designed which causes those issues.
- tyingq 4y agoWell, yes, but, for example: Characterizing both a 5% error rate and a 100% error rate as "increased error rates" is not as helpful as it could be. I'm reasonably sure they know when a service isn't functional at all.
- icedchai 4y agoIt's all in the messaging. I once worked at a place that was having bandwidth problems because of an "issue with an upstream vendor." The "issue" was we hadn't paid our bill in a couple months, so they disconnected us.
