Then what happens when it goes down?

We actually do have considerable redundancy in the central part of the
feed topology, including multiple feeds into the Toronto area, but
inevitably this redundancy doesn't extend all the way to the leaves.

It could be lots worse.  There was a time when if utzoo was down, the
entire Toronto-area Usenet was pretty much completely down.
