Is there a way that we can measure performance for a host provider? If so, I would like to start this post as a wiki for everyone to chime in regarding their hosting provider.
(I want to change but would like to make more of an informed decision.)

Rules:

Phase 1


Post comments to the Question regarding ways to measure performance.
Vote for comments to the Question.
Based on comments I'll edit the Question so that we'll agree to use a particular technique or tool to measure performance.


Phase 2

Once we've decided on the technique or tool...If you want to contribute a measurement for a host provider...


If an answer/measurement for your host provider exists add your measure as a comment to that answer.
If an answer/measurement for you host provider does not exist, create a new answer, list that host provider along with your measurement.


(Note: perhaps different packages for the same hosting company should be different answers...ex: Media Temple Grid Service and Media Temple Dedicated Virtual should be listed as separate Answers)

Have a look at Netcraft's Hosting Provider's Network Performance, it has a lot of great information such as:


Downtime (in HH:MM::SS as well as a percentage)
Connection time
Time to delivery of the first byte
and several other metrics.


As they've been doing this for so long (since 1995), this is probably the best first place to look for objective data.

I don't think it gives details for different products, as you asked for:


Media Temple Grid Service and Media
Temple Dedicated Virtual should be
listed as separate Answers

You can measure the global response time of the providers (their home pages) with this load time testing tool: www.alertfox.com/Tools/LoadTime/
