Actually, I know who did this and they're on the list
last I knew, so there is a chance for your feedback to be read.
I think it's a challenge coming with any system that is
perfect. The issue here is balance. This strikes a balance in
favor of expecting a level of uptime from your ISPs. If they
were rebooting once a month you might not be very happy.
Oh well, you can't win them all. I think this will be
good overall.
