Here's three speedtest.net tests for their New Jersey location:

I'll do more tests tomorrow. Sat up an IRCd on one of them to experiment on, and added it to the main node. I'll be watching it

What is this, a joke? Oh wait, I just saw the sidebar ad...They have a ad in this forum too
Who am I writing about next to bring them in and convert them into a sponsor? Glad to see Choopa/Vultr supporting the smaller communities. It's appreciated!
Looks cool. Will try one and run a benchmark.

It makes you wonder if they took the time to even think of a business plan....
OK Guys, we're going to code insecure software, say it's secure, say we take 30 seconds to deploy, have exact same plans and prices are digitalocean but have more locations
Million dollar business, right there.
Then again, I've seen people offering "cheap vpses" which are really just digitalocean servers, but for a few $ extra...

AIT disk speed sucks - dd test gives less than 50MB/s. Network is about 30MB/s down. Peering as a whole is "meh", but that's AIT as a whole. The website is terrible, it took me several minutes to figure out how to order. When I ordered, the VPS info e-mail was all garbled (supposed to be HTML but came across as text with no line breaks). No IP was sent as that was given out later when the VPS was fully set up, but that was not made clear. The IP has been used before as it still has a reverse DNS entry that was not cleared out. I don't see any way to set a new rDNS entry - maybe by ticket? In terms of the financials, I have not given any payment info; I could defraud AIT if I wanted. That's all the problems I've found so far*, quite likely there are more.
*Aside from the glaringly obvious one that this is another DO ripoff

To be fair, they are cheaper than DO as soon as you go above the 512MB plan.
The whole blatant website copying thing is a serious turn-off for me, though. There's no good reason an established company like Choopa needed to do that.

AS10843 Advanced Internet Technologies -> 100% AS5778 Embarq Corporation -> 92% AS22561 CenturyTel Internet Holdings, Inc. -> 61% AS209 Qwest Communications Company, LLC + 9% Embarq Corporation ->
AS209 announces bogons. WTF?
Just did a benchmark:
https://www.petabyet.com/result/201402276364d3f0f495b6ab9dcf8d3b5c6e0b01/
IO: Even slower than HDD... hey they are running on SSD machines!
Network: Ok....
CPU: Surprised...E5-2690...not bad.

Many large ISPs and corporations announce bogons. Verizon Business, Cox, ATT, Level 3, Hewlett-Packard, LeaseWeb, OVH are some of the companies that also announce IPv4 bogons. Comcast announces IPv6 bogons.

They own their own DC in Fayetteville, NC. https://www.ait.com/company/data-center/
What type of virtualization are they using? Their regular VPS line is VMWare.

Nice to see Vultr rolling out some storage offers... Long been a fan of this storage need and the market for raw usable storage isn't well developed, still.
