replyI've always thought it was unfair that the 9 in 9% uptime doesn't count.
reply"1 nine" tends to mean "90% availability" i.e. 37 days of downtime per year.
reply9% availability would be an uptime of ~33 days a year, I think at that point, we're pushing the semantics of "available" if the service is down the entire year except one month on average.

replyI once saw a sign at a railway station in the UK that actually did say "normal service will be operating between the 12th of July and 18th of August" (or something like that). Made me laugh. At the time Anglia Railways had a rail replacement bus literally every weekend.
replyI thought they should rename to Anglia Busways and have bus replacement trains instead.
