I think that people here do know how to handle this stuff properly...
The problem is that most customers don't care that much, so 99.99%
availability is not justified economically. The moment customers will
start suing ISPs for unreasonable downtime, and refuse to sign contracts
without proper uptime assurances from ISPs, Israeli ISPs will adjust
themselves to reality and do what is needed.
I was envolved in ordering Frame Relay line for our company a few years
ago... And I remember perfectly well the funny stares I got when I asked
about CIRs and traffic assurances and such...
