You can't take those words and promises for granted bro. The requirements for VPN provider to gain access and rent rackspaces for their VPN servers with a data centre or teaming up with Tier-1 transit ISPs requires more than just money to make the deal. These major transit carriers and data centres are owned by powerful corporations having ties big brother/governments/intels.Just as how PIA once claimed that they only deal with bigtime Tier-1 carriers for hosting their serves to ensure that their servers are up to speed with enough capacity to handle their large customer base.

Then again you might still run a small time VPN company with limited capacity off shared VPS servers. Many will still have doubts about your ability to keep up with your customers needs and if it falls short you'll receive lots of complains about slow speeds with your VPN servers. Also your routing paths and latency might not be able to match that of the big players.

The best way is still to rent your own VPS and set up your own VPN service for personal use. You will have better control and privacy over it. My reason for using a VPN is to optimize my routing so that I can get the best latency results across all major continents to where I want to access. Of course I also want to max out my speed to wherever I connect to including major cities in Europe/West Coast USA and East Asia.
