Don't recall any other online brokerage suffering an outage like this.

Brokerage firms have outages with surprising regularity. I remember Sharebuilder being particularly bad, but Vanguard was down for a bit last week. A whole day though is pretty spectacular.

Other brokerages also support trading over the phone in the event of an online platform failure. Robinhood doesn't, and their email support system was bouncing emails due to high volume of incoming mail.

Vanguard was down for 2 minutes that’s way different than a whole trading day.

Vanguard was down for around 30 minutes by my count with no status updates.

No even in the same ballpark of fuckup as being down an entire trading day will _zero_ information as to why.
