What I do know is you left a very rock solid host for a new company. Hopefully they continue to run their operations as smooth as your previous host has, might have been wiser to get a hardware upgrade and stay with the guys you were with.

it was a p4 1.2 or 1.3 and the cpu was running fine.. 85% idle all the time.. it was their bandwidth that was crapping out on me and inconsistent..
What I know is that I left a hosting company that was going through serious problems with their pipe and didn't even bother to fucking tell me that I might experience drops in connectivity so bad that for hours on end my TGP's went from 80-90% prod down to 20-30% prod.
Might be wiser for you to know your facts instead of talking out of your ass, I have a good friend whose been on cogent for 9 months and has had 35 minutes of down time, great connectivity anywhere in the world and solid reliable consistency in speed.
