I disagree. The name is specifically for not expecting bandwidth limits and overage charges. There shouldn't be any performance expectations without that specifically having an SLA. At least in commercial contracts a local Telco uses for DSL service.
The word "dedicated" is what is required to expect "that you have the full speed when you need it".
you don't think... that is the problem with you
it happens all the time, that other people write it to you: YOU COME LATE TO THE PARTY HERE, NOT BEING AWARE WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT IS THREAD ABOUT, AND TRYING SO HARD TO POST SOMETHING. FAST. MUCH. PRODUCING SHITSTORM OF POST UNDER POST UNDER POST...
last time a week ago:
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3354846/#Comment_3354846
and this evaluation of shit quality of your posts were agreed/thanked by plenty of LET members... so maybe you should finally think about it and stop being BimboJackass all the time
back to Barbara... let me enlighten you, if you "don't think"... and didn't get what this specific post was about
Streisand effect tl;dr for such dummies as you: if somebody (i.e public figure/entity) tries to hide something (not convenient for them), and people get aware of this... they often OVER REACT about it
it is expected, that businesses inform about acquisitions, mergers, buyouts, closing, expansions etc. this is normal way of dealing with such important business events. they publish press releases, directed e-mail notification for partners and customers, informs press/media/forums etc. not tries to hide this information in that way, they some random user have to investigate it and others (i.e. direct customers of this company) find out this surprising visiting some forum.
so summing up, if you add 1 and 2:
-did TH inform us on LET or their customers about EPIK thing? NO!!! did it cause great surprise here on LET? YES!!! so there you have OVER REACTING
-did HS and TH informed every affected HS customer, that his client data was hand out to third party (TH), because TH acquired part of HS business??? NO!!! for weeks or month we seen here plenty of HS customers claiming that nobody contacted them about such event (for your information, GDPR requires immediate customer notification it there is change of business entity responsible for storing/processing/using protected client database). and TH still plying dumb, that they only acquired HW and customers, without acquiring HS business. so there you have OVER REACTING
and one more thing for future: if you "don't think", don't understand something etc. etc. just don't bother me about it anymore
I am not commenting your Canadian redneck's slang, so if you can't handle mine poor English on international forum, than just be a man and use userscript for blocking post from specific user (which is floating around here) instead of crying about it all the time like little girl, and do not bother me anymore about typos, commas, grammar nazi...
if jar in his first sentence is claiming "Hey you violated the law." when I am asking about how come that TH acquired protected client data without acquiring HS business...
if jar in next sentences is claiming that asking such question is being a douchebag because it will cause him/provider to hire expensive lawyer for GDPR matters to write simple answer...
etc. etc.
than yes: I CALL HIS POST A PURE DRUNKS BULLSHIT, as he/provider should be aware of such absolute basic GDPR requirements/regulations or hire such layer months ago when that performed whole magical customer data transfer from HS to TH took place, and now many LET members are asking valid questions about it
Andrews finally turning into another jsg I'm afraid.
Is it still considered misleading even though Unmetered Port is not the same as a Dedicated Port? Like the advertising is 1Gbps Unmetered, it doesn't show that you can saturate the port 24/7, just that you are not charged overages.
always trying to keep it short and simple, but that time his level of BS required to more elaborate
that will never be possible.
@Andrews You are free, like the rest of us, to bring up the good and bad points of a provider. You have clearly made your opinion known, and everyone seeing this offer can consider the points that you have made before purchasing from terrahost.
Maybe it is time to let it go now.
Wishing you and yours a happy and prosperous New Year.
I think the community just wants some clarification since they learned about the involvement indirectly through Rob, Epik's CEO and not from Terrahost directly.
I hate to point this out to you, I can only think about what you understand, I cannot know what you understand. Again, English isn't your first language, so you don't understand basic shit.
I replied on point with quotes. Wtf are you getting on with?
This is ironic, considering we're in a thread where multiple people are telling you you're being an asshole and pointlessly annoying. Whereas what you quote above essentially boiled down to consolidating posts and not ranting about an asshole that was no longer there.
But there was no acquisition, mergers, buyouts closing or expansion that wasn't publicly discussed on LET. The Epic deal was none of the above but invested in TH for talent and services. This is done all the time, not necessarily with press releases.
You misunderstand point 1 and the Streisand Effect. It's not about over reaction, it's about ATTENTION. I have no clue where "over reacting" comes into this except for English translation problem by you. Edit: I can see how you could come to that conclusion from the wiki when talking about Streisand Effect being an example of psychological reactance, but that's not what Streisand Effect is by definition.
What are you talking about? When HS moved clients to TH it was posted here and TH sent emails to the affected clients. There were some that didn't get contacted in error and TS said to contact them. This was open on LET, so have no fucking clue wtf you're talking about.
Talk about: "YOU COME LATE TO THE PARTY HERE, NOT BEING AWARE WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT IS THREAD ABOUT, AND TRYING SO HARD TO POST SOMETHING. FAST. MUCH. PRODUCING SHITSTORM OF POST UNDER POST UNDER POST."
I wasn't a HS or TH customer, and even I knew this but you can read the posts of people that did and didn't get emails. The ones without receiving emails were definitely in the minority.
They were the third party right from the start of service when people ordered service, not some new/random one.
It would help if you cited specific GDPR rules so we can see the context. When googling GDPR stuff, it seems more useful reading blog posts by consultants who go through examples and real world use cases and where loopholes or limitations apply or don't. A lot of them talk about the misunderstanding people have of GDPR, for example.
Fuck, buddy, don't bother me anymore and we'll be fine. I was correcting your misunderstanding. Feel free to continue to be incorrect on Streisand Effect and anything else you misunderstand and embarrass yourself.
Big wall of text from above messages. Collapsed for brevity

The position of the comma seems to suggest @Andrews and @TimboJones are fuck buddies.
So is the above conversation and wall of text about providers or is it a tiff between FB's?
The position of the comma changes the context quite a bit !
first, I am super straight, so not interested in guys, which BimboJackass (pretending?) is, and second I can't stand monumental idiots...
so, no way!!!
Which was?
Hello, McFly?!?! I'm telling you that you're doing a shit job on an English international forum and you need to know you're doing a shit job. It's incredulous that you don't realize this. What a shit ego you have.
Then cite a specific law.
I think the point is that you're an annoying hassle and not helpful or even useful. You don't cite the laws and regulations and just make a claim based on your (mis)understanding. Jar just did the same thing to you as you're doing. That's irony and was meant to be obvious to show you how you're coming across.
So I'll just end with, whoosh.
Annndd fixed.
The involvement of Epik is clearly concerning to a lot of people and, as hinted by @MannDude, finding out from Epik not from Terrahost raises — at least for me — some red flags. It comes across as Terrahost knowing it would be non-ideal PR so they kept it secret (Norway is lacking in corporate transparency which maybe Terrahost were hoping would be in their favor), but they also don't fully understand who Rob Monster is and did not realize beans were going to be spilled.
As I said in another thread, I'm not going to outright cancel my services with Terrahost but neither am I going to renew once alternatives have been established, nor am I going to take them up on this offer, even if it's very attractive on the surface.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. Happy to hear what @terrahost have to say on the manner, or if they will continue to avoid addressing the topic in a meaningful way.
I see where you're coming from but I don't exactly agree either.
I wrote that dedicated is different from just having a 1Gbit port speed. Your server's hooked up to a 1 Gbit line. They give you access to it at a full 1 Gbit level. But you also have neighbors who are also using the same 1 Gbit line. The expectation here is that while you're never "fully" going to get the Gigabit speed on a regular basis, the expectation is that if you have a spike in traffic or network usage, you can use up to the full gigabit but please be under that for regular usage (to not bother your neighbors).
However, with the change in how most VM providers are now attaching 10 Gbit lines to their servers, the expectation is more "you're limited to 1 gbit, but don't abuse it". That's why we see more speedtest benchmarks hitting around 1 Gbit or so. It really does depend on the flavors (or the structure) each host has.
Although I think the definition is different from what's used for Telcos. I mean even a while back I had a 1Gbit port but a commit of like 100 Mbit on the 95th percentile or something of that sorts. But this is LET and from my experience, 1 Gbit unmetered is usually what I just described above. Granted you don't expect full gigabit all the time, but if the capacity is there and you need it (like your site hit reddit or something) then you have the network.
So is the above conversation and wall of text about providers or is it a tiff between FB's?
Haha I just didn't read it. It's a tldr.
Ahh! This is why I browse let at 1:30 am, while minding private business on my “white throne”.
@seriesn no plans for new year deals?
Bad thread to ask for it boss
But yeah “maybe” something this week. Not sure yet. Inventory flow has been a bit rough lately
So rough that my service is cancelled
Stop posting white throne, inventory flow and bit rough in same conversation.
Exactly
🤯
@terrahost - Any ETA on that migration from HostSolutions?
0.0
We've migrated about 80% of the storage VMs. Should complete within a day or two.
The VMs recoverable on the SSD node has been restored. Others have been recreated on our new Ryzen 5950X cluster. Migrations of the SSD VMs should start very soon and is expected to go faster due to the smaller sizes of the VMs.
Any bankrupt deals from HS that you can do again?
wtf? nobody defines things by what they are not. You define things by what they are.
So if it is "1gbps unmetered" then it is 1gbps unmetered. That is it. The clause clearly mentions limitation on 10gbps, and do do not mention anything on 1gbps.
You just seem to like complaining, regardless if your point is valid or not.
Agreed. But I find it strange that @terrahost seems to simply ignore certain epik related questions. There is a major difference between "> 80% of terrahost has been taken over by epik" and "oh well, epik purchased about 15% of terrahost".
So, terrahost, again: What percentage of terrahost has been sold to epik?
A statement regarding this will be made available soon.
