As mentioned previously, there are a lot of variables that effect this 
claim.

A lot of businesses include this sort of data in their quarterly reports. 
Some of your questions might be answered by
reports like this one =>

Additionally, I'd do a Google search for terms like "System Availability" 
and include some Tier 1 providers to see
what kind of data comes back.  Then just go from there.
