How reliable is UK internet?

Despite being a modern nation, the UK's internet infrastructure, while generally robust, can be surprisingly vulnerable. Major outages affecting multiple providers, as seen today with Sky, BT, Vodafone, and EE, often stem from issues at key network hubs or shared infrastructure points rather than individual company failures, highlighting potential weak links.
