It is going to be interesting to see how the performance of Github and their freemium offering changes when they start paying for infrastructure somewhere else. Unless they can smooth talk another host into giving them free infrastructure.

Based on replies from my support queries about performance, they are aware that paying customers expect better/more-consistent performance than what we've had of late.

I see, so even if they did pay, it still wouldn't be fast enough. So free even has its costs, in terms of dissatisfied customers.
