Victim blaming needs to stop.

After 8 days of downtime, most people get desperate and look for all avenues for support.

After 8 hours of downtime, I have already been back up some other place, some other way, in some other fashion, for 6 hours already.

There is no excusable way to explain being down for 8 days no matter WHAT any service provider does. How do you even explain the 2nd day let alone the 8th! Holy cow.

I'm not blaming the victim. I am telling the OP this is hacker news, and not a support forum.

This is effectively a support forum, because you get visibility and issues do bubble up higher than the standard support queue. The system is what it does.
