Well I'm in Finland and seems the system here has multiple independent services and is thus potentially more resilient.

There is technically a second provider, Freja, but that is basically only supported by government agencies, and even that is spotty.
There are talks about a state-provided one coming soon, because of EU E-ID laws.
