Yeah if it's really 6 months in advance that will go nowhere fast. I don't understand the attraction of netcup at this point. The stuff is cheap but it all seems shaky.
I have no problem at all with you disliking or complaining about netcup or some of their actions. Unlike what some seem to have (obviously too quickly and in error) concluded I'm not a netcup fanboy and I clearly said so.
If they had pulled that 320 GB scam with me I'd have let hell lose on them. Pardon my wording but making customers believe they get some important quantity A while in fact they get A/x is what I call a scam.
It's probably too late now but I want you to know anyway that something like what you described would pretty certainly not only have a court ordering them to fully reimburse you but it would also lead to a criminal case against them.
I've made the decision to not get them into court just because i've worked with Felix (CEO) on an earlier project (Linux-Vserver-Webinterface) together - so it was just because i know him for 10+ years, otherwise i'd have dragged his ass to court.
This was and is 100% scam (lawyer confirmed that).
You know their CEO and even like him? Well, why don't you call and give him a strong hint that his marketing assholes are creating MAJOR problems for the company and also make him lose a lot of people with leverage?!
Some people simply love to derail topics.
I just got a yearly contract RS 2000 at 14 euros or so, and now VPS 2000 G8 outruns RS 2000 by 70TB BW, 4GB RAM , 110 GB more SSD at similar price.
and only downside is CPU not dedicated , and 0.3% less SLA.
I don't even see that 200 Mbps throttle ...
this is just ...sad...
Wow, it sounds like netcup has really fallen from grace in the public LET-mind. Big contrast to the pre-BF/BF/Advent euphoria.
For what it's worth, I still like my netcup vServer.
My personal impression is that netcup has good stuff at good prices but their marketing department grossly taints and sullies netcups image.
Reading, for instance, about that "320 GB vs real 160 GB" scam, makes me think long and hard whether I should even consider them as a provider.
(By the way, that Root-Server is no longer offered.)
I'm probably going against the anti-netcup mood trend at the moment, but I wouldn't have called that a scam. As given in the specifications, it was a little puzzling at first what was meant, but I believe (though I can't verify this any longer) that on the page where the Root-Servers were compared side by side, there was a floating comment that said what was meant. In any case, @Falzo told everyone on LET what was meant. :-)
In sum, certainly not a scam, at worst an initially puzzling description if you didn't look more closely.
Trying netcup new VPS, installed Windows and does not attach to any network, hence unable to RDP, any pointers please? raised ticket as well.
You need to install the network drivers from the Driver CD which you can mount in your SCP.
Is it after install completes? Previous installed SCSI 2k16 to recognize hard disk, now which folder for network?
got it working, installed the netKVM folder drivers for 2k16 and then enabled RDP..thanks..to me for windows, netcup seems better than hetzner at this point
So what is the bottom line here with their new cloud? Shit? Bit of a scam? Misrepresentation? Seeing a bit of all that so far.
Better bandwidth and admin tools than Hetzner; shitty billing which still requires prepayment contract.
Better as in you just get more or better quality?
Better quality if you're a DTAG User
Is that a real quote or are you paraphrasing, I ask because ... 2 x disks in Raid 10 .. um what?
Or did they say raid 1 ?
From my limited shit-tier traffic to Germany, they're about the same. I've been happy with NetCup, but I'm not a huge fan of their billing. I prefer Hetzner's Dedis.
Their math is a little strange in what they expect you to understand. For instance, they marketed a VS as 4 x 80, I've never seen a 2x160.
For instance, my RS 500 SAS was marketed as:
Festplattenverbund RAID10: 4 x 120 GB SAS
Disk /dev/sda: 240 GiB, 257698037760 bytes, 503316480 sectors
So, it's still RAID 10.
Odd.
To be fair, German billing is one of the things they, generally, do well.
I was amazed the first time I realised that they'd let you order something and then pay 14 days after receiving it. (For instance computer equipment or concert tickets)
That is because 14 Tage Widerrufsrecht basically is their 14 day money back guarantee although not explicitly stated. If you are unhappy within 14 days you 100% get your money back. Always worked for me I think.
Not bad. Better feature-wise than OVH VPS...

Isn't that only valid for Germans?
I think it applies to all their customers.
The way I figure it is that they're promising that your data will be across 4 separate spindles.
When it comes to heartless, soul crushing paperwork- they're the tops.
chuckles I'll absolutely give you that.
I haven't been billed yet for mine; I probably won't keep it since I have a half-decent #2/mo 1G VPS that works great for nameservice.
Quote from their website: „All the hardware we use is built solely from brand-name components that are designed for continuous operation...“
Well but using „flexoptix“ gbic modules ... pretty much no good idea using them for a backbone.
To be honest am waiting the OVH to join the fun after online, herzner and netcup. They always want to be the leader so with their free ip space am sure they will do something good.
