If you could create the perfect provider...
Post Body

IF you could create the perfect provider what would it look like?

For a long time we have discussed backbones, parent companies, providers, indexers, etc. and we always seem to like some parts but not all. OR we love one for a short time and then it falls a bit out of favor due to a move, even a reasonable one (Newsgroup Ninja for example - I mean you can't blame the guy, Omnicron probably made him a heck of a deal).

So what does the perfect provider look like?

  • Geographically (let's assume no holds barred)
  • Speed
  • Retention (assuming what is available)
  • Cost (let's assume it's not free)
  • ETC

No, I'm not trying to turn on yet another business, but it's more of a curiosity than anything else. Given an unlimited set of circumstances is there a perfect solution or a legitimate facsimile? OR is there not a perfect provider possible?

EDIT: Thanks for the fun discussion everyone. FWIW, if I ever get a boatload of money I'll create a new backbone in San Marino (with dist points in HK, US and Antartica) at 1GB for $6 a month. Lol. Oh, and one more point on the moon jsut because.
