This is quite crazy. They still haven't said what caused the system down either.
Nor will they. It'll be 'a bad update to firmware' or some bullshit. No one will ever say that some underpaid fresh from college summer student misconfigured the BGP, and it was in a remote location that took 12 hours to drive to. Bad for the stock price for the shareholders to know things are so bad that a simple fat finger error knocks over all the dominoes.

The only problem I had was with Interact.
I always carry a couple hundred in cash. Interac is only reliable until it isn't. Then you are stuck in a restaurant with no way to pay the bill. What surprises me is so many companies are dependent on one service.
