I would be absolutely shocked if they didn't.
The problem is when your networking core goes down, even if you get in via a backup DSL connection or something to the datacenter, you can't get from your jump host to anything else.

It helps if your dsl line is is bridging at layer 2 in the osi model using rotated psks, so it won't be impacted by dns/bgp/auth/routing failures. That's why you need to put it in a panic room.
