I would personally have end IT friendly mimick and test their existing
systems on the nee ISP. Especially cloud tech having read a book on
cloud by some PHD administrators they redefined cloud as being cloudy
in a sense to do with not knowing what route your clients packets will
take to reach the server.

We are doing something similar with netpath in Solarwinds, but
mainly using the stream URLs of some popular streaming services that we
see commonly used (FuboTV, etc). Came in handy recently in tracking down
customer complaints that ended up being a peering capacity issue further
upstream.

Subject: Last Mile ISP Quality Measurements
What are other last mile ISPs doing to measure the quality of their
connections? We all know pinging various destinations. We also all know
that pinging a destination doesn't necessarily tell you the whole
quality story.
I currently have Smokeping pulling the HTTPS for about 20 - 25 of
the "top" websites, per the old Alexa rankings. I feel as though I could
be doing more. I am more closely wanting to emulate the end-user
experience in a repeatable, quantifiable fashion. I'd like to do A/B
comparisons as well. When I make X change, how does it change?
If I'm already doing the low-hanging fruit path, then so be it.
