Here in Spain a good number of ISPs are extremely reliable. They must be, since they have the habit of upgrading or going through "scheduled" maintenance. ;)
And you don't even want to hear about usenet, radius, disconnections, or cable/adsl deployment. Once T, _the_ phone co lost connectivity to the rest of the world, and they said a excavator had cut the fiber. I emailed their backbone provider and found out that T decieded not to keep the contract, so their provider cut them off. (Eventually newspapers called it the "ghost excavator":)
