No? I try to pick reliable services.

Have you found any?

Fastmail had interruptions few times and some lasted few hours. There is no such thing about 100% uptime of any service.

Could you provide more details about this issue? Yesterday I received emails all day long and didn't notice any problem, and similarly there was no issue according to their status page yesterday (1).

We use FastMail for a business that is sensitive to email delivery time — in other words, if for some reason we receive emails with a delay, this could be a problem. Over the past 5 years or so, we've had only one incident when emails weren't delivered on time.

Check end of May exactly on status site you have linked. 9 hours of outbound email delivery issues in total and 2 hours of interrupted access to services so yeah, not very cool for your delivery time sensitive business. 100% uptime doesn't exist and Fastmail isn't any better than Proton or Tuta.
