Bitbucket: $10/month for 10 users and Unlimited private repositories.
Github: $200/month for Unlimited users and 125 private repositories.
If you're a team of 10 or less, have a few dozen clients and dozens more supporting libraries in a small company Bitbucket blows Github out of the water.
For the same $200/month Bitbucket also offers unlimited users (again, with unlimited private repositories).
I wouldn't call Github's pricing unreasonable. But I have learned to appreciate Bitbucket's service (they're really on top of things on their Twitter feed) and their pricing is lunch money for a day (as opposed to skipping lunches for a month).
I've seen a lot of stuff in their Twitter feed they seem to work through, but I've never actually run into any issues. So I've interpreted that as transparency I guess.
Been with 'em for maybe a year now? Never had a failed push or pull. That's happened a number of times with Github but I wouldn't suggest it's been damaging to the business. Only a minor inconvenience at times.
So with your anecdote and my anecdote, we get to call this "data" now right? :-)
I'd be interested to hear what issues you had with Bitbucket - we just started using them (switched from Github) and haven't had any issues just yet... but I'd be interested to know what to be wary of!

Highly recommended.
