Apologies, after 4 hours down I rechecked and the sales blurb says 99.97 so 2.62 hours !

Oh and as I type the server is down again.
I have an IT management background so I fully acknowledge that stuff goes wrong to everyone, been there done that.

Me too, thats why I pointed out the real stats about % uptime, many people see 99.5 and think it looks great but when you convert it to real time, the figures are shocking
Still don't think 8 hours plus downtime is OK
^^^^ agreed,

So Euk - what is the payback when you break your 99.97 uptime guarantee then ?
