Thanks for the info Sameer but I do not work at Rogers :)) . I was a nocling but Rogers did not pick us up. I work with a private company now :))
Since you work at rogers, subscriber minutes is probably the preferred measurement. Since an individual service outage is not likely to have a significant impact on that regions total user base.

From my understanding there is a 99.97% up time value that most
companies try and match. Is this a hard and fast rule or is this a value that we all try and emulate as best as we can? Do I have the value incorrect? Is it higher or lower? I had always thought that it was 99.97% but have not found anywhere to reference that figure, it was just via talking with others and checking available uptime statistics. My understanding also takes into account that it does not include controlled downtime due to any maintenances.
Any thoughts?
