I don't hold a switch to Nats against an ethical sponsor but if I notice my conversions skyrocket and rebills fall hard within a year of the switch then I'm bailing and assuming the worst.

No hold back and no security deposit.

So send your primary traffic to Epoch and let those who do charge a reserve take your cascade.

All those CCbill solo sites go out of business all the time so why people have a blind allegiance to something that might be prone to failing for the very reason you are complaining about just doesn't make sense at all.
