Reddit experienced some issues with Amazon a month ago that resulted in the site being down for almost a day. I'm pretty sure they're way below that percentage.

That's conflating SLAs again, Reddit's long-running problems have been with EBS reliability.

Even so, .5% downtime per year is about 44 hours, and Reddit's definitely had more downtime in the last few months than that.

Of course, that's assuming that 100% of Reddit's problems were due to EBS only and not a combination of EBS, EC2 and their own code.
