The issue with CCbill is they have no competition, as they pay out on time people know that its easy to attract partners to build their programme.
The long term issue is with the new accounts there are acepting, I see a number of sites each week which DO NOT comply with Visa obsence rules. Now if they continue to develop their business this way then sooner or later the whole deck of cards will come crashing down.
Rule of thumbe for any site owners out when it comes to processing - If you process around $20K pcm & 60 - 65% of your traffic is non affilate based you need to look more closely at your billing partners.
Another point - in the future there will be no such thing as IPSP each merchant will need their own merchant account then will use a gateway, my view an that of others within processing world is CCbillEU will become just that - a gateway. This is why Verotel have moved to the ticket club, yep people are bitching though get used to it as its all going to end up this way, they were just first to comply.
Also don't listen to all the crap that people spurt on about with Visa / MC not wanting adult business, both have active projects to win more business in this space, the stumbling block is that the banks see porn as a branding issue not high risk.
Billing is like everything else if you research and compare solutions you will quickly find that 3rd party processing really is a dead duck and most certainly not future proof.
