It is important to consider your service provider's network strategy, as it is an indication of their commitment to Quality of Service. Clearly, service providers who choose an inferior provider of bandwidth services will likewise provide sub-standard performance when it comes to speed and uptime of their service. Typically, cost-cutting and price sensitivity will show up in the network strategy. This is precisely why we are one of few service providers with public disclosure of our network strategy.
