It's not so much a fault, but it requires some sublime stability for the TCP connection for it to be usable in any non-frustrating capacity. I recommend you to RDP into a dedicated box somewhere, and then use it off there -- obviously, the lower the latency, the better.

I'm usually working if I'm online, so I guess 24/7 VPNs here too, yes. Laptops/phones are permanently vpned as well.

+1, and even if you get past LAX -- there's no way to fix internal congestion that is on their last mile backbone. That was a losing battle when we tried it, I can't imagine things have changed any lately.

By using upstreams that have shitty or non-existent filtering. Yes, they still exist.

Hire someone experienced with JunOS, getting it up should be fairly trivial for them. As a side note, never been a fan of the ezsetup utilities for Cisco or Juniper...

Happy birthday!

Ditched Firefox quite a while back, it just kept getting worse with every version =/

This is indeed Telehouse 85 10th street. Impressed that you found that out without asking us, though. ;)

I don't believe they have anything against Chinese people (CNS), it was a simple misunderstanding.

ARIN's IRR db is very, very sparsely populated. For people caring about IRR at all, querying RADB is probably your best bet. You can also use the RIPE RIS API if you want to know the prefixes actually announced instead of registered, works very well.

Voluntary pre-funding is NOT refunded, yes -- this is not just us, if you read up you'll see other people doing the same. Additionally, most of our brands do not accept pre-funding PRECISELY for this reason. No money was stolen, it's still in your account as credit. If this is not the case...

24 hours is fine by me if I don't have a written SLA contract with you. If I do, then whatever said contract says.

SSDs have FAR lower access latency / times than HDDs. A multitude of the io pinging tools can all be used to check this.

We've got a new pop in AU, mind letting us know more about what you're looking for? :) Can supply IPs / connectivity at a reasonable price.

Handy Networks is excellent in Denver, CO.
