mbossman2 is very correct on the 5 9's.
I used to work for an ISP and we had a fractional T-1
768 CIR, commented information rate that was burst-able, meaning we could peak above but we had a guarantee of at least 768. If we lost Sync on the T-1 we would have a BST from bellsouth in the building with in 2 hours. We knew our BST on a first name, as he was always hanging out in the shop. We gave him free INTERNET access just to top things off a bit.
