Why would it matter? Nobody in Congress cares if they miss work while they wait at home for the cable guy, and furthermore nobody in Congress is waiting on the cable guy themselves.

But speedy service to fix an Internet connection or avoid a flight layover is not so easy to put a price on

Well, I charge $100/hr for my time. Seems pretty easy to put a value on these.

This.

Why wait for the cable guy yourself when Maria is already at the house raising your kids for you.

You have to admit, "Get to my house now or we'll cancel your FCC license" is a pretty powerful motivator.

Actually, this bothers me less than lobby firms paying hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars in 'Campaign Donations' to outright buy elections/laws

1) Write article complaining members of Congress get special treatment.
2) Ignore link in top-right corner of your site advertising free subscriptions to people that work in Congress.

Access to power is a perk hard to measure with just income.

Roll Call is a long time specialty publication targeting Congress.

five hour? Who the hell gets anything that fast from them? Last I dealt with them, they gave me a 12 hour window.

Complain. Every time. They'll make promises they can't keep and half the time will reward your impertinence with bonus channels.
