Anecdotally, I've had 100% uptime on my ISP for the past 3 years and have read many a cloud provider's post mortem in that time.
My company hosts a large portion co-located in a datacenter and has the same uptime as my ISP. Clouds seem to be more complex which invites more opportunity for things to go wrong.
