hivelocity.net suck.
 

By far the worst host i have used! Some one told me they were really good here. Set up 10mb server (sending 0 traffic) and getting 50kb/sec.

My cheap fdc boxes are getting 200kb/sec. :1orglaugh

And they are level (3)! Must be a joke.

we've 3 boxes there and so far so good (knocking on wood). Furthermore, on a price/quality relation they're amongst the best we've used. Maybe you'd try to contact them to see what's going on :2 cents:

How can a new server that i send 0 traffic to get 50-80kb/sec? I have never experienced that before, no matter how bad the host is.

Well, letting you guys know.

I've got some sites hosted on Hivelocity.
How fast does this song of mine download?

You start @ 180/kb goes down to 100/kb. How much traffic are you pushing and what plan you got?

I just have the SH Windows Plat account, 12 domains, 160 gigs a month deal.
I mainly use it to run ColdFusion scripts that the search engines enjoy spidering, so there's not a ton of content to burn bandwidth with.

So, i contact them the day you posted and they said it should not be happning, yet did nothing about it.

Btw my new box = SM 20Mbps

TP is the only hosting company i trust.

i just grabbed that at ~900 KB/Sec

I put up a server there right before the 2257 stuff. Paid 3 months to avoid the setup fee. Then the new regs I put in a support ticket to cancel the server. and they left if up.
Didnt really think anything of it. cause the domains were no longer pointed there. a month later I got a letter from their lawyer cause someone hacked into the mailserver.

Anyway thats my experience with them. I guess you get what you pay for.

they arnt level3 you idiot, theyre cogent with level3 and cogent BGP on INBOUND only, OUTBOUND is 100% COGENT


Cogent is not bad, you would be getting fast speeds, its hivelocity's fault its slow, not cogents.

200 avg..

300kb here

Come over to NYC, I'll give you a sweet deal :)

weve got a 20mpbs there and its more then fine, support rocks too even for unmanaged. And yes outbound its all cogent.

When I was at Candid they used to buy a bw link from us. They must have switched to cogent a year or so ago when they cancelled their link.They seemed like pretty good guys back then.

support rocks, used them 24/7 and np at all.

your sig button link isnt there btw
