I wonder why the OSM team isn't calling the ISP out by name. Not having on-site spares at a Tier 1 is just, insane.

Amazingly, this isn't the first time I've heard of this happening.
Charging for a redundant line, then discovering that it actually wasn't one day when it goes down.

"We paid for a redundant line but it wasn't redundant!"
'Sure it was. They just went to the same router.'
Can you imagine the straight face that tech must have had to keep?

Because this would open up OSM for defamation (and hinders a commercial resolve). It doesn't solve anything right now.

TL;DR
The OSM team is very small and constrained heavily by financials. They had a single ISP which acted as a single point of failure. They are moving to a new ISP but they expect the outage to last until Wednesday

The OSM team had redundant lines to the Tier 1 ISP, but the ISP bridged them into the same hardware (not a normal or expected thing).

That sounds like a very silly thing to do.

It sounds like a normal ISP
