Is united colo a scam? (serious question)

08-03-2003, 08:01 PM

These prices are insane. Sorry if this seems like a plug but $99/mo for 1000GB transfer on non-congent bw? And the server is included, no setup fee?

Is their tech support just really terrible or something? Any comments appreciated.

I have a gallery box on United Colo.. decent machines for the price, bandwidth is okay for non business critical applications.. Give them a go man, it doesnt hurt.. and they're not crooks.

btw.. tech support has gotten MUCH better in the past couple months, they answer the phone now!!!

I moved all my shit off Burst after that last downtime a couple months ago.. They're good, but that totally soured me to them, as I was only with them for a couple months before that happened.

the catch is that there is no set up, and there is no support . . . unless you want to pay $65/hr

<< And the unrestricted.net network costs more and offers less. >>

The UNRESTRICTED.NET service has just been re-launched:
http://www.unrestricted.net

And as far as uptime, that was remedied some time ago:
http://www.hyperspin.com/publicreport/57207/7765
That was primarily due to some carrier outages we had way back then, which has been remedied early last year with some network upgrades and improved redundancy...
