Technically 100% uptime, as one of the two competing chains will pull ahead of the other. That chain has no down-time.

For there to be downtime in Bitcoin, there would need to be a rollback, where all (or most) miners go back to a previous block and mine from that point. This has only happened once, as far as I am aware (due to a bug in the protocol itself which needed correction).
