Hate to burst your bubble, but even the premium GA uses samples. They don't give you a firehose of real data.

Some of the reports, yes, but not overall pageviews. Per their capabilities page:

> 1 billion hits per month

> Up to 3 million rows of data in unsampled reports

If you're doing conversion tracking etc. you're going to start getting sampled data at some point, but it's the pageviews our folks care for.
