First outage (at least that I was around to notice) in the 2 years I've been using it.
DDoS attacks can be a real pain, especially if the attack has different characteristics from those the service has seen before. FastMail has generally been pretty good at ameliorating the effects of these attacks. Seriously degraded service for an hour or so is annoying, of course, but other services are sometimes impacted for a day or more.
