Thanks.

No ----, they've been down all week. Lightspeed or whatever(their bandwidth provider) cut them off and so they are now very slow. I knew CW was crap from before.

Hell, I could have told anyone that there's no good bandwidth providers up here. If I was ever gonna colo a server, I sure in hell wouldn't do it up here.

So true...So sad...

Now they got a new datacenter and are with Cogent, AT&T and Sprint. ROTFLMAO

Cogent is going to be 99% of their bandwidth!

I just want to say that it isn't lightspeed's fault. Cyberwings had roughly $30k of unpaid bandwidth bills, and they got cut off.

I suggest everyone steer clear of cyberwings.

How do you know this? I just want to know so I can use this against them and get a refund. :D

It was posted by a lightspeed employee at the yahoo group CW_talk, and then at WHT.

$6.00 for 72 GB :confused: omg

Only a sucker would fall for a package like that :confused2

Another good example of a hosting company with a biz plan of "oh, they will never use that" rather then "they will use it". Using cogent bandwidth (.16-.33, .33 used here) the bandwidth would cost $23.76/month, a little more then the $6.00 plan.

If people want good hosting PAY FOR IT!!! Not some cheap fly by host offering the world for nothing, geez!

Reminds me of the offer about a week ago, 500 GB/month for $50/year! :D

Oh, well then it's still a loss, and still a big one. I would have went to check the price, but... it seems the site is down (lol) :p

Looks like the wannabe "CEO" just put the cash in his pocket, or oversold and got the short end of the stick before the customer could. Feel sorry for the new DC (or whoever provides him with bandwidth).

Looks like a lot of suckers got scammed (30K worth of unpaid bandwidth). If it's too good to be true, it is.

wow, they actually POSTED this information? that's *very* unprofessional of them.

i'm going to have to join that yahoo group, i think, i didn't want to because i despise yahoo groups, but still, i hate not knowing things.

Both "Daniel"s have flags for their avatar. There are a lot of french in canada. Are you the third shooter from the grassy knoll as well?
