And you constantly find out it's not.
So then you have to haggle about refunds / extra time / etc. and everything is WAY delayed beyond wearable limits.
This was a major headache, I don't think I'll be using any "cheaper and dedicated" outsourcing service ever again.

Totally agree, unfortunately people see cost savings first, and then learn the consequences later, this was one of the reasons I moved from technology in banking to online adult, every bank that I worked for just kept on moving work to india, and yes the quality was exceptionaly shit, but they(the banks) did not seem to care. The online adult industry of course is very different since its driven by the constant need for survival and innovation, and is not by fat city shareholders, but earning $10/week in china/india if worth a hell of alot more than in Europe/North America.
I did a bit of research the other week on tubes sites and its scary how many originate from either china or india, they start small and then move to US hosting. I get requests daily to include them in a couple of Tube SE sites I have, and they are all from China/India. Having said that, this of course is great if you live there...maybe I should learn Gujarati and move to Cheni
