Never use them without a backup alternative. I've seen more outages, 
that one would want to ever see from a provider, that would like to be 
categorised as Tier1.

Especially, when some of these are longer than expected, because there 
were no cold-spares in the country and the cold-spare needed missed the 
flight.
