There is no way to talk about end to end connectivity quality assurance. 
The understanding must be that a provider can ony control the own 
network. How traffic is routed outside is mostly uncontrollable, because 

You say you can control your own network, but I suspect much of it is 
based on telco supplied lines where you don't directly control the 
reliability.  This is why companies have contracts.  Within certain 
parameters (and for a price), they allow you to control the actions of 
other companies (and their networks).
