Please don't call it a lie. It means that they knowingly presented something they knew to be false as the truth. So far I have seen no evidence to support that.

It is definitely a lie, but it's the same lie sold by all cloud offerings. Can you name a single cloud/CDN operator without downtimes?
It's normal to have downtimes but they are usually scheduled and quick (think <10 minutes per month for rebooting and/or hardware parts replacement). I'm pretty sure most non-profit hosts like disroot.org or globenet.org have similar or better 9's than all these fancy cloud services.
They proudly stated this from their own website to their customers:
> "Fastly’s network has built-in redundancies and automatic failover routing to ensure optimal performance and uptime."
If that isn't one huge lie, I don't know what is.
