Ironically, the colo is called IronPath. And yes, it seems they had a single connection, though they claim in their promotions to have complete redundancy. Obviously, false advertising.
Still, my double point is: 1) All these people who can't think of anything to do because a single web site is down? Have their brains turned completely to oatmeal? Maybe the anti-porn anti-furry crusaders are right? and 2) A cable break can happen anywhere. It shouldn't but it does. So what if it affected Amazon or BestBuy? I'll bet it would get a lot more attention, not because of the users who were cut off but because, "OMG! Profits! We're losing pennies!"
