Bump, need to find someone with actual experience.

for that price it can't be good... I could be wrong though... :-/

ur always creeping around at these late hours

who offers that?

http://www.servermatrix.com/

wow that's an awesome deal...almost too cheap :warning

is that like 13 cents a gig apart from setup ?
For a single deal, it sounds cheap as :2 cents:

Bandwidth prices have really gone nuts lately...

Someone from servermatrix---please contact me


thanks

i have a box with servermatrix, but its not a unmetered cogent box
ive peaked at 9.9mbps for 28 hours straight with 1 drop off to 8.4mbps for about 20min
great speed and support and a nice admin system aside from whatever you install on your server.

If your maxing your port at 9.9mbps with a 10mbps cap, your going to get allot of packet loss. Your on 10 mbps cap or 100 mbps cap?

10. i thought that aswell but random checks threwout the day showed otherwise. its $10/month to upgrade to 100 which i havent yet found a reason to do so but the option is there all the same.

If it suits you need go for it. Servermatrix is big enough to be able to afford many 20 mbps customers maxing out their lines, and won't need to get nasty because their overselling biz didn't work out. When someone oversells I look at the size of the company and the # of customers they have. The more, the better even extreme overselling works (I would not even call this one extreme overselling)


AFAIK the 20 mbps are NOT on their usual network but get 100% cogent. I have nothing against cogent, they can be very good - if servermatrix doesn't oversubsribe their cogent line

It is a 20 mbps cap so it is not suited for sites with heavy ups and downs in traffic but you already knew that

Yes, they are a big company and that is why I am interested. So far nobody has tried their 20 mbps servers :(

never had any problems with servermatrix. They are very good :thumbsup

20mbps = 6TB/month. for 250$
I checked a shitload other hoster and the best deal I found was: 1.2TB/250$/month.

So I can't believe that there isn't something wrong.

* MatriXtreme Servers operate independently of The Planet/ServerMatrix network.
* MatriXtreme Servers utilize Cogent? bandwidth.

If servermatrix can't pull this off, noone can. Servermatrix is HUGE and has the name to back it up. I have alot of boxes at servermatrix and they give what they advertise. That 20mbit deal is ideal for mpeg submitters.

Try them. You will be blown away. Downtime is almost zero (never recorded downtime in 1,5 years) and support is FAST (but you'll have to sort out your own stuff like scripting and dns and stuff)

What's their spam policy like? Not email spam, but shit like say friendster spam. Would they can an account if they got enough complaints from friendster users for example?

Wow, this could change some minds of non believers. How long have you had the 20mbit box? What's your max burst? Glad to find someone with experience instead of unbias opinions.

Hope to find a few more users with their opinions. :)

I have a few 10 mbit boxes. The 20mbit promo is still very new, don't need more BW at the moment. Do you know Choker? He uses servermatrix and loves it.. and so do alot of GFY'ers too :winkwink: They give you impressive stats (orbit.theplanet.com) and reboot/emergency features. Unmanaged might I ad, but if you can use cpanel/WHM you're off. They can set up everything you request, even a 3D video card in your box (no shit). Impressive backup facilities too...

Wow, if someone like Chocker trust and happy Server Matrix then it really says something about them. I guess I have to bump until I find someone with the 20mbps connection server. :)

I'm real curious about this............anymore satisfied Servermatrix customers at such levels?

I think Cogent sucks. I would personally never risk my business on that.

That's high you can get 10 mbps anywhere quite cheaply.

Have you ever had a Cogent connection of is your opinion unbiased? :)

I wonder if Chocker can say something about them :)

BUMP

I have a box with servermatrix and its been great, not that exact deal though

Quote from FAQ:

"What is the charge for going over the allotted bandwidth?
The cost for bandwidth overage is $0.50 per GB."

That's pricey, fun times if you have submitted tons of movie galleries, and then you get accepted to all the big 'uns at the same time....

:2 cents:

If there are overage charges then it is not unmetered. Does anyone know what is the story with this?

Unmetered doesn't mean that you have unlimited BW. It means that you get 20mbps line. And if you use this line 100% for the whole month, you can use ~6TB!

It depends what plan you go on. If you select unmetered you will be capped and there will be no overage.

Yah I agree. That's what unmetered means everywhere else. unmetered with a bandwidth limit is ridiculous.

So did you buy it yet?

I am going to be buying this as a backup solution...i'll let you guys know how it goes! :)
