Yesterday Vonage, Today Lingo...Who's Next?

Yesterday Vonage had an outage but today it seems Lingo, the VoIP service from Primus is having it's own bad day, making the Vonage outage seem slight in comparison. A review of a thread on DSL Reports shows many unhappy customers.

While I'm not opposed to the idea it may be a coincidence, I notice that many times the outages that seem to occur with one carrier almost identically occurs the next day or so with another carrier. That makes me wonder if there is anything inside their NOC's (i.e. open source software, commercial software) that is similar, and when that piece of software is updated if the everyone is affected as they update...
