Obviously I don't want to run around saying bad things about BuyVM, as great service as I've had all this time. I do, however, really want to see you in two US locations that don't involve CC. The network in Vegas is more than good enough, though my local run to it is a tad more than I'd like (I can't complain, East Texas to Vegas), but it's still great. Buffalo I just don't feel comfortable in even if I drop my feelings about who ran the power cable to the rack.It's up to vote.

I laughed at your example of the game. I thought it was called, 'Chinese telephone' (or something), but I guess it's called, 'Chinese Whispers'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_whispers Unsure why it's Chinese, but as a kid I remember doing that in Kindergarten or something. Maybe it was just me being a devious little cunt, but I'd change the 'whisper' drastically on purpose each time.Ever play that game where one person whispers a phrase to another, down the chain, and by the time it gets to the last bloke you've gone from "Tea on the patio" to "Anal with a porpoise"?
I always felt that was the underlying lesson of the game. Not that repeating information would necessarily change it (if this were the case, society as a whole would've never made it to, let alone past, the middle ages) - but that in any situation of cooperation and trust, there will always be the one fellow that cocks it up intentionally to suit their own purposes (in this case, humour). Never did know the name of it though; I was the type of kid that intentionally avoided those situations due to either 1) having to work, or 2) already knowing the outcome, so Chinese Whispers works for me.Maybe it was just me being a devious little cunt, but I'd change the 'whisper' drastically on purpose each time.
You aren't the first alas. I have a lot of people on my case to get out of Buffalo since they refuse to use our east coast spots. They aren't making excuses either since they have mid/high priced services in LV and want to match the same on the east coast.Obviously I don't want to run around saying bad things about BuyVM, as great service as I've had all this time.

Would love a non-CC east coast. Would probably get a BuyVM VPS for a ShoveHost shared hosting DNS server. Currently using DigitalOcean for that but while they've been solid they are not the most reliable feeling in the long-term.You aren't the first alas.

Well, at the very least find a good location not CC based. Maybe something in Virginia or New Jersey perhaps?It's up to vote.

wat....
Swiss became the land of the VPN, because noone wanted to host anything there.
Northern countries...wat.
Erm.... Prometeus isn't cheap enough? iwStack?Northern countries...
If I need something in the south Germany or Italy are cheaper.
We are talking about Swiss.Erm.... Prometeus isn't cheap enough? iwStack?
Oh yeah sorry about that! I guess I misread your comment!We are talking about Swiss.
If I need something in the south I would buy it in Italy or Germany and not in Switzerland.
I don't know why they attacked each other. They destroyed the image of UK hosting. I remeber all the buyouts, acquisitions, announced and not tranfered acquisitions of that time.UK and NL do have greate peerings to the northern countries. But two things happend quite at the same time:
- The war of the UK providers
You are right. They sold their left arm to UKFast: http://forums.burst.net/showthread.php?4908-Official-BurstNET-UK-UKFast-StatementThey're still going on.
Didn't Burst sell their UK location?

According to UKFast, the deal with BurstNET for an undisclosed sum will see an additional 1,500 customers transfer to it on top of the 4,500 it claims to deal with already.
"I don't want a business that is a one trick pony," he said.
Shawn Arcus, CEO at BurstNET said the deal came about when it approached UKFast about moving ten racks from data centre provider Telecity.
