Who is the fastest and most reliable node provider out there now? Can't build our way out of the bear market if RPC calls are taking 800ms to complete

Maybe it's time for a node benchmarking tool.. something like siege or ab but for blockchain nodes.

What kinds of workloads/requests would you want to see?

Quicknode claims 200ms, no idea if it's true. Are you doing big multicall bodies?

Don't know about fastest, but alchemy has had very good reliability and uptime

I run my own node since 2 years and for me my node is the best. I can co-locate a script on the same server and extract terabytes in minutes
