I'd have preferred all the hosting times use the same scale on the left hand side to more easily relate response times. It would also have been cool to see all of the graphs stacked on top of each other in one graph or visually grouped the separate graphs together in a single page's height.

I guess as a marketing piece it gets some interest, but it lacked in actual utility for me.

That's definitely fair feedback. One thing to keep in mind is, that with an outlier of 4 minutes and change, the graph would have to be blown up to a massive scale in order to see any variation in response times from the other hosts. Otherwise the other 6 hosts barely would have come up off the x-axis. The good news is that we have the data to produce exactly what you're talking about, but in terms of practicality for this article it was a little tough to justify. That said, I hear you and putting that together will be a fun new challenge.
