This is probably not a typical case, since my loop is about 3000 ft. Most of dsl problems are typically related to telco loop defects, such as hard grounds, bridged taps, pairs shorting out, etc. Telco takes a long time to rectify such defects. My present atypical short loop does not have such problems.
DSLX did have a few outages, one regional outage caused by a failed gig switch at a data center. Other short outages have been attributed to ATT transport problems.
An excessive latency problem was caused by an overloaded bandwidth provider.
In all outages amount to a couple hours per year.
A very positive feature is dslx staff responding to inquiries and posting outage information at the BBR dslx forum.
In summary if you have a good telco loop dslx is a reliable ISP.
