Some orgs really do have lousy availability figures (such as my own, the Navy).
We have an environment we have access to for hosting webpages for one of the highest leaders in the whole Dept of Navy. This environment was DOWN (not "degrade availability" or "high latencies"), literally off of the Internet entirely, for CONSECUTIVE WEEKS earlier this year.
Completely incommunicado as well. It just happened to start working again one day. We collectively shrugged our shoulders and resumed updating our part of it.
This is an outlier example but even our normal sites I would classify as 1 "nine" of availability at best.
