got a 30mbit VDSL connection and UMTS for safety.

But I'm also working from my GFs home (30mbit VDSL).

all connections have an uptime of 99% of the year. but since I'm not working 99% of the year and using different connections I never met any downtime.

@k__: you're right, but the article does not consider the long-term downtime, which is a bit harder to measure (and it does affect the user-experience less than a 5% loss rate). The solution for long-term downtime is having a backup connection on a different medium and with a different service provider.
