From that perspective, in my experience, things are better today than they ever have been.
The only thing I've seen in the past 20 years which has made any positive impact on overall internet reliability is BGP dampening. In all other cases its gotten worse as networks are ground to dust by daily DDOS attacks. You can read daily about sites xyz or networks xyz being unreachable for hours/days/weeks/months due to DDOS attacks. Compared to 20 years ago I would have to say overall things are worse not better. -Dan
