So, let's have some stats? I mean, does a paid for provider go down more or less? What about loosing data? I'm not so sure Gmail comes out that bad


The point isn't so much whether or not Google comes out bad, it's whether you have someone to talk to that can actually fix the problem when something happens.

There are providers that can give you various guarantees, response times and that will make key personnel available to you (at a price). Google is not one of those providers.


Yeah, and how much of your time is spent going over obvious nonsense with that human on the telephone line?
