My wish list would include:
One whose function is to provide unfettered service of a data pipe with no
gimmicks like port filtering, sand vining, DNS redirection, etc.  One who
takes its customers privacy serious and refuses to give out any
information without a fully executed warrant and even then does not
acquire or store data that can be useful.  Even better would be one that
takes active measures to ensure that my data and activity remains private
and this includes email services, should I opt to use them. I would want
them to make their revenue on providing the service I am paying for and
not trying to find backroom sweetheart deals to pad their pockets by
selling information or trying to direct me in ways that are profitable to
them.

It undoubtedly would.  Tor is a good start, but it has been demonstrated
as woefully inadequate.
