A power outage.
A network cable has been cut.
Both providers didn't pay the bill and the facility batches terminations.
Huge DDoS? FBI DC raid? Hurricane?
Nuclear missile
Any first hand experience of such things happening in said DC to multiple providers? Couldn't find anything resembling something like that
Wouldn't that affect the west coast more likely? o.O
I think they did pretty well during Sandy
Yeah, but effect would be still the same. Both providers down.
Main point of answers (some more extreme, some less) is that things can go wrong and putting all eggs in one basket it's never good idea. Nothing arguable here.

It's quite possible. However you are referring to choopa everything I have there is still up.
If I remember correct Choopa NJ survived Sandy without one second of downtime. They were really well prepared.
He was using it as an example since that's what came in his head probably.
It depends on the data center and what they have. Fiberhub didn't have true A+B power, so that's a reason as well.
@Spirit You are correct
I would assume Choopa's nice/new DC has multiple legs of power delivered in your cabinet - I remember when I used to support systems at SwitchNap in Vegas, there was A+B+C power above your cabinet. I am pretty sure Fiberhub is single source with the power issues that have been seen recently.
@dano
As per choopa's site
"1000+ Gigabit
Network Capacity
100% Uptime

0% Packet Loss

"
Tier 4 data center
Tier 4 = Tier 1 + Tier 2 + Tier 3 + all components are fully fault-tolerant including uplinks, storage, chillers, HVAC systems, servers etc. Everything is dual-powered.
Tier 4: Guaranteeing 99.995% availability.
So the odds of two providers in Choopa failing at the same time are pretty low, would you agree?
@MiguelQ Outside of a physical node hardware issue I would say yes.
If the provider is colocating out of choopa it might be a different situation if they are running a separate network.
Well, just found out that both are running from the RealibleSite network, so all bets are off
If one of those providers is us, we have no reports of downtime from internal or external monitoring:

Maybe it was your route to our servers :S Let us know if we can assist in anyway
dependent on DC problem.
No downtime or problems in the present, just thinking ahead
Ah sorry I misread, I was wondering why we hadn't been notified
Raptor shark
Oh wait, we stopped throwing things out there
DC getting hit by meteor
Very possible as of late
