TL;DR
The OSM team is very small and constrained heavily by financials. They had a single ISP which acted as a single point of failure. They are moving to a new ISP but they expect the outage to last until Wednesday

The OSM team had redundant lines to the Tier 1 ISP, but the ISP bridged them into the same hardware (not a normal or expected thing).
