Re: ISTOP Unreachable (AGAIN)

June 16 network outage

At 1530 Bell Canada experienced a failure in their network in Toronto. This affected the link between Toronto and our Ottawa POP, and about half our ADSL customers in the
Ottawa area. Bell fixed the issue at around 2045.

You know, I might be wrong, but it sounds like the only link that Istop has between their Toronto and Ottawa POP is through that infamous Bell Canada link ( »www.istop.com/network.html ) that has failed at least one other time in the past. Wouldn't it be prudent for a ISP/webhost to have at least one other backup link to a completely different network in case that one fails? Or is this just a convenient arrangement so that he can point the finger at "Big Bad Bell, it's not our fault" whenever something goes awry?
