Isn't that already the case for some providers? I always tell customers if you use Speedtest, the only thing you're measurement is going to tell you is: How fast is your Link to Speedtest (or whatever you use). This, most of the time, does not reflect any real-time scenarios... > Also, it seems that there are monopoly providers who are present at IXs and > won't peer then with other ISPs, thus.... not very useful all that, as the > speedtest will be amazing, but the actual packets to the other ISP will fly > over timbooktoo... AFAIR, we do already have this situation with UPC.... In the end... if you choose the wrong provider (especially as a service provider) and find out later you're in for some massive work (renumbering, most of the times). I am currently evaluating new links here since we're going to have FTTH soon. For private users it's relatively easy to change. Most of the time, the end-customer unfortunately won't really get what's wrong anyways. "I'm with <put big provider here> so it must be good" is what I hear quite often.
