Clean, low latency bandwidth is important but I think that the majority of people here value support far above latency timing or even BGP routing and carriers.

It's easy for someone to hear "Level 3 is the best" and demand that from a host. But really, I think that for many of the webmasters, affiliates, and even program owners out there that if they don't hear that their sites are slow or down they're happy with the bandwidth.

Support is paramount to bandwidth concerns - even in the high bandwidth group of customers. A poor hosting company can buy high quality, muli-homed circuits in any number of datacenters or carrier hotels. I've always thought that a good hosting company is made by implementing a rock solid support infrastructure.

But anyway, back to your question Brad and my reason for posting:

Have you thought about loyalty programs? I know that we collect Areoplan miles here at GTS / P2P ads. I think that Areoplan is a Canadian program, so I don't know that it would be the best choice, but is there a loyalty program out there that you could partner with for little or no cost to add value or as an incentive?

Personally, I recently switched everything I could over to companies that rewarded me with these points. Silly, maybe - but I'm going to get a free flight soon and every time I fly, I get to go into the executive lounge for free liquor and a nice atmosphere.

Just a thought on how to add value and give you an option to offering a "special" without lowering your price.
