Great post. Information that people can learn from, wtf is going on around here? It has inspired my first post in a long time.
Since we aren't talking about any specific host, I will comment...
* Using performance metrics as primary routing decision, awesome.
* Relying on this to aggregate a mixed bag of shitty to great providers into one good "blended provider," probably not good some of the time.
* A host not using provider pricing as primary metric when making routing decisions, very hard to believe, but maybe there are still good people left in this industry that run hosting businesses.
I also want to disagree with Ross because the reason many people in this industry are stupid is because nobody is sharing good information to get them unstupid.
I always wanted to use this 2c thing so here goes
