All things being constant, the contention ratio[1] is the biggest factor that determines whether you are &quot;lucky&quot; or not.<div>Transmission bandwidth and radio resources are other factors.However, resiliency and reliability (on whether you get the service or not) come a close second. Ability of a network to offer redundancy (BGP, MPLS,et cetra), sudden spikes, bursty traffic, power outages, et cetra under those unforeseen acts of God (devil?) is a strong third.</div>
