On the flip-side, though, if something's wrong between you and that
particular service (let's say a DNS server in your network goes
haywire and intermittently forgets certain domains, or something),
this service's reliability is tarnished through no fault of its own.
Or, let's say, for example, your ISP has decided that service X hasn't
paid enough of a toll to get priority to its customers...
