Agree here as well!

My guess is that the super experienced devs that don't need any support will go to whatever is cheapest that works for them. People with less experience that need the support will pay a premium for the support. Markets will market and things will work out.

Sure, it's just pretty useless to have x nodes there when they're not busy. It won't make a speed difference for anyone, and it doesn't create redundancy for when there's an issue in their datacenter. If 50% of the nodes are there, a problem with a single cable would shut down half our infrastructure. I know they offer different locations, not sure that's also for those servers - if yes, it would be good to spread them over those places.

Your node was fastest for me @pharesim. You got my witness vote.
I agree that while Privex is great, HIVE needs diversity and redundancy
