And now...

When Skyler was at Crissic, the service was decent. Fast ticket replies, acceptable performance Since it was bought over, it's gone to shit. Then they're upping the price, so it's time to ditch them. Right now I have: 50GB HDD, 2 IPv4, 512MB RAM, 2TB BW, on OVZ for $15/yr. Realistically I...

That feeling when a host mixes up bits and bytes...

They've run these services into the ground, so it's not a surprise that they're now discontinuing them. I've been given plenty of notice, but I feel for that guy who got 2 days' notice. That's taking the piss, and really bad customer service.

Nope, it'd been down 12 hours or so by the time I opened a ticket, then it was a further 9 hours before I heard from them. 3 hours after that, everything was up and running. Hardware problems happen, but I can't say I'm impressed with the lack of communication around the whole thing.

Or a LOT of people jumped ship when Quadranet took over... It's back up and working now, @drmike. Almost exactly 24 hours downtime judging by the new uptime and when it went offline. 9 hours before the downtime was acknowledged by way of a reply to the ticket, very much during US business...

Multiple downtimes (this time 22 hours and counting), slow performance, packet loss... I wouldn't mind if support bothered answering tickets in a timely manner, but it's been hours since I ticketed them and they've not replied. Also interesting is that this status page says there are no...

Luckily, there's peer reviewed, properly conducted science that proves otherwise.

No there isn't, homeopathy is bullshit.

I got an email from Rackend (to an email address I gave only to Privatelayer!). Here's its content: I don't have any services with either company, and afaik I never have. Obviously I've given Privatelayer my email address in the past, but the fact that Rackend managed to get my email...

This is the biggest lot of nonsense I've read in a while, and spam to boot.

It doesn't say two is massive, it says there were two which were massive. Whether they were or not is another matter, of course.

If a consumer ISP runs out of IPv4 and for some reason can't do IPv6, they'll NAT everyone/new customers and if you need a dedicated IPv4 you'll pay a premium for it. If the internet runs out of IPv4 and sites start becoming IPv6-only, people will just have to use tunnels to access the v6 web.

True, but I'd have found a use for it, no doubt. Serverbear results and friends with Hetzner boxes would disagree with you. Can you point me at a page that says it's capped at 200Mbit? I can't find anything that states this.

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not getting one earlier to be honest. As mentioned earlier in the thread, those only have 100Mbit.

Cheers, I'll keep an eye on ServDiscount. I've got 3-4 weeks left on my OVH boxes so I can leave it a while before having to make a move.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Hetzner to be honest. The Online.net box's CPU would be plenty, but the storage just isn't enough. I looked on oneprovider but they work out more expensive than Hetzner.

Yep, I've included VAT. The data is backed up/easily reproduceable so RAID isn't really an issue.

I see this said a lot, but why wouldn't a company selling your data just pass it on without the +... part, to cover their tracks?
