I guess it all depends what you define 100% to be. Personally I'd want
the public face of my organisation (ie the website) to be available
24/7. The $250 per month solution would provide it.

MDaemon will support redirection of POP so you could get 100% with a
little tweaking. If I wanted to be 100% sure I'd have backup DNS and
email on two ADSL lines as well. I think that would certainly provide
blanket 100% coverage and also allow for the odd DNS/email that misses
the primary servers.

All I was trying to prove is that you could effectively get 100%
availability for $250 per month. And those machines could be used to
provide services for let's say 20 clients. 20 clients paying $12.50 per
month for 100% availability sounds good to me.
