They will be called out on their actual costs but not on the supplier names for which that they are contractually bound to not divulge their deals.

This has gone on long enough - bring it.

Ok, bringing it.

Two examples for you here.

1) Webair has a standing offer to meet or beat any hosting offer. When companies like alphared and choopa started selling sub $5/mbit bandwidth, Webair didn't rescind this standing offer.
By logic one can assume that webair has customers hosted for those same prices....and probably picked some up today with people running scared from alphared.

2) Cavecreek recently offered to meet or beat any price for hosting, and to do so with their CDN, and they did this knowing there are alot of customers out there paying $5 or so per meg.

So unless you're willing to come out here and say that Webair and Cavecreek don't know what they're doing, or that they're somehow inferior to mojohost in terms of "staff, datacenter, servers, profitability and client experience", then this conversation is over.
