Well, I decided to go out and splurge on a Black Friday deal I saw. I was too late to fight for the big boy 4 gig plan. But I settled for the 1 gig special for 25 for the year and also purchased the 1TB block storage also. So, I am out of pocket for 55 dollars. Well, I couldn't pass it up with 100 TB of bandwidth which is insane for this price point! Block storage is set up manually which they will update you once it is processed via a ticket. The network is screaming. I will update this post once every 3 months. Planned usage is storage for something. @IonSwitch

Hey, don't knock it. My mom lived in Payette and Pocatello from 1923 until the early '40s when she joined the Navy. She was in Idaho because my grandfather's turnip crop failed one year, and he had to give up farming and become an irrigation district superintendent. That's why he moved across the river from Oregon to Idaho, and rode around on a horse to do that. He was a cussed old guy, born in 1882 when it was either shoe leather or horses if you had to go anywhere much outside a city.
Most of the country really was Bumfuck, USA if you go back three or four generations. In my case, two generations.
Have you met Facebook?
Have you guys had any luck having support tickets answered at @IonSwitch?
I added block storage after ordering the VPS, no luck with with provisioning (ticket auto-created after payment) or follow-up tickets to support/billing.
