    Their definition of "NA Upstream ISPs" and "Internet pathways" are simply:

    Your ISP that has to connect through other providers to get to a destination, in this case the SE NA Datacenters in Toronto.

    Even if you are from Europe, to get to a NA Datacenter requires going through multiple networks owned by other companies. So North American providers are involved with your connection to the NA Datacenters. Your ISP doesn't own a line going all the way from Europe to Toronto.

    Every company is vulnerable to DDoS attacks, as well as hardware and software failures.

    The biggest issue on the forum is that the Internet is not simple.

    There is a reason why the World has Network Engineers and Line Techs. Providers have Redundancy systems in-place, however that still isn't a 100% fail-safe.

    In the end, it is just easier for ppl to point the blame on one Company than understand the complexity that is the Internet.

    Did I ever blame the company? Did I ever say I can't get on FIX IT! ? Where did I claim that it should be 100% fail save or even presume that it's solely SE to blame? There is also something like jumping the gun, assuming I am one of those many whining on forum they have to fix it cause it's their job etcetera. I just added my piece of information to help the investigation.

    If this was not your attempt I apologize, but just realize that this is how I received it based on your message.

    Wasn't my attempt at all. There are ton of network threads when this happens and it was a general statement.

    That is why I checked. Yes I also defended myself but also checked. Cause I know text can be difficult to attach meanings or emotions to. And not realizing that causes the most senseless fighting o.0

    Aye, no harm done and no intent for harm.
