Given the scale of these attacks, whether having two providers does any good may be a crap shoot.
That is, what if the target happens to share the same providers you do? Given the whole asymmetry of resources that make this a problem in the first place, the attackers probably have the resources to take out multiple providers.
Having multiple providers may reduce your chance of being collateral damage (and I'd also still worry more about the more mundane risks of a single provider, maintenance or upgrade gone bad, business risks, etc., than these sensational ones), but multiple providers likely won't save you if you are the actual target of the attack.
Good, perfect, enemy, etc. How many sites were down today? How many were the intended target? -- Brett
