"backbone" is a really odd thing to discuss these days. It used
to mean -- well, various things about peering relationships and
transit purchase -- but now I would look at things like "do they
have a solid technical infrastructure" and "are they
well-connected" and "what are their policies and does an auditor 
claim that they follow them"

and most importantly, "do they provide the services I want?".

Depending on what you want, it would be perfectly reasonable to 
tell you to buy virtual machines at any of [Amazon, Microsoft,
Google, Rackspace, Linode, Digital Ocean, Hetzner...] and/or
use their DNS services and/or use a CDN such as Cloudfront,
Akamai...
