for a lot of enterprise networks, 99 percent uptime requirements are on the low side.
Nice math work!

The other thing is-what can you really do if it does go down? Amazon et.al. can give you a rebate for the time it was down, but it really isn't a lot.

Netflix recently reimbursed me for when they went down for an evening; I think 3% of my $8 streaming bill? And I think Microsoft gave me a free game when the Xbox Live network was down for two weeks.
