It was a DDoS attack. Nothing to do with their infrastructure.

It's a good thing git is a distributed system. In such cases, people can just switch to a different remote and push their branches there (with some care, of course).

But most people never use the distributed part of git, other than having the repo on their local computer.

Yeah, but everything to do with their reputation. before 8 months ago, I never recommended Bitbucket to anyone. Now I do based on the knowledge that GitHub has a loss of connection at least once a month.
The company I worked for used GitHub as the source for its build systems releases. If you can't do releases because GitHub is down a few times, I'm sure the dev/ops team will start looking elsewhere.

The enterprise version of GitHub might be a middle ground.
