The question was if downtime on a transit provider of many hours is
unacceptable. I am offering my experience that this happens to all of
them. Some of them can have problems that last days not hours. Do not
ever assume that a so called "tier 1" network is good as your only
transit.

And that is where the sage advice is...

Just because they are "large", "global", "transit-free",
"international", "Tier this or Tier that", don't think they are beyond
fault. And more importantly, don't allow your customers to assume they
are beyond fault, just because you aren't them.

Take control of your situation, especially if you can.
