    Even if they sold 100gbps with perfect fiiltering done by Star Trek computers for $10/month, who would want to give money to such creeps?

    @kenwong said: In the end I don't see Path going down yet.

    It's interesting to read any optimism at all for a company with leadership/executives/staff that appear to behave the way they do, based on the info presented. I'd already be on my way outta there, but hats off to you for your optimism. Maybe they will turn it around. But human nature being what it is, there's a pretty good chance they won't turn it around. I hope you're right, and good on you, you have more faith in them than I do.

    I couldn't say anything negative about them. They are super quick on support, sales and even the CEO answers in seconds. Yes sometimes a bit chaotic. But yes I am an optimist :smile: But as mentioned before we never put anything in one nest. So even if they are going down. We have Voxility and others already connected.

    Funny, we had exactly the opposite. Lots of chaos, slow response times, bitchy employees and ultimately no solutions to acute problems.

    Interesting. They respond on Slack 24x7 very quick. But yes maybe it doesn't work for you.What are you currently using?

    We won't reveal that yet, but we usually waited up to 2 days in Slack, at worst. But usually always several hours, depending on the time difference between employees. It always took a long time, especially at the weekend. Even with major problems (which were not on the status page) there were always difficulties in communication. We then terminated the contract without notice after some employee rudely threw it in our faces that we could do a Crossconnect, which we had requested two months earlier, but received no response for weeks (also from the CEO). Incidentally, we are still waiting for the SLA credit (which was offered by Path itself!).

    But the funniest thing was after they took a 10G peering online and our customers from the specific country were then offline, because they accepted everything there, including DDoS traffic, even though they knew that the customers from the country regularly receive several hundred GBit/s of attacks.

  • Did we all collectively forget about OVH? The most affordable option is almost always OVH tunneled to a colocated server somewhere. As long as you configure your networking correct such that your real IP is never leaked, the chances of you getting successfully attacked is extremely low.

    IIRC their firewall is on the datacenter level (or not directly between their servers) as you can bypass their firewall with another OVH server - good enough for most but not all.

    Cloudflare is maybe the only global alternative to Path. And the prices differences is huge compared to Path. Even Voxility has a small footprint- compared to Path in Asia for example. Or some one else on the market?

    Yeah path has a lot more locations than most of its competition, but that's also a big part of why their competition is doing fine while path is entirely penniless. Someone like CDN77 has way more points of presence compared to Path, and pretty OK protection. That's where I see a lot of the Path customers in more edge locations moving to.

    DataCamp isn't really providing it as a service or? I think you still need to use their bare metal servers or at least their transit? Not 100% sure about it. I am not pro or against Path. Just like we can Connect at many POPs. Voxility second best option there. Hope Cosmic can expand their network. But we never put all eggs into one basked. In the end I think there is not the one fits all best solution.

    Curious what is going on with the LET providers that have been using Path -- have any of them changed their anti-DDoS partners? If so, what are they changing to?

    AFAIK no one is changing untill Path kills themselves, but you can switch to, cosmicguard, datapacket (cdn77), Voxility, bytefilter (they are here somewhere)

    Or if you have money to burn: Cloudflare (magic transit), G-Core

    Think it's worth noting that Bytefilter, whose ASN used to be that Veilios Hosting thing (https://www.peeringdb.com/net/30799 - Same ASN), is former Tempest COO Curis Gervais' operation.

    This is only notable to me because in the leaked archive that was posted in ArmoredVM's Discord there's material regarding the situation when Curtis allegedly accessed Gameserverkings' computer systems without authorization.

    I don't think this is the case for Game servers, but yeah they are more expensive.

    CuRtIs SaYs So HiMSeLf

    Anyone can take five minutes of effort and see how @SirFoxy is absolutely correct.

    Curtis was given a lot of flack on twitter for trying to manage hosting Kiwifarms last year and issued a statement about it on the website.

    He even bragged about his defense of hosting them on twitter.

    Now all of it mysteriously doesn't load and all the web assets and ASN have been renamed to Bytefilter and Velios Hosting LLC has been renamed to Bytefilter LLC as of September. So, he's clearly involved and just lying.

    All you do is talk shit about this provider and defend Curtis. I just saw you posted the other day how criminals are scum but Curtis is a convicted swatter with a criminal past. So, just like @TF3LIV said you are really trying too hard to convince everyone of this utter bs that's easily disproven. I can see why this place is called low end talk because your IQ is definitely on the low end. You said @SirFoxy was wrong because a swatter told you so. Yet anyone can look up the company and his post history and see he ran Velios and converted it in September to Bytefilter. Stop embarrassing yourself, take the L and admit you were wrong like you said you had no problem doing instead of accusing random people of being someone they aren't.

    Post the evidence then dumbass. A tweet and a archive of veilios website doesn't proof shit. Show me where he is the owner of veilios and bytefilter.

    Because there is nothing good to say, they literally scanned a competitors network for shits and giggles. They are lossing access to all their datacenters they are in, they are literally dying.

    Idk seems to be out of spite because he was bragging about some lawsuit going on with them after being fired according to the leaks his friend shared. But like I was saying, @kait why are you defending a known convicted swatter who swatted schools and innocent families while claiming you hate criminals and they are scum?

    gonna pretend this recording of Curtis swatting someone is acceptable? Explain this away

    Dear Marshall,

    I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you with heartfelt concern regarding your health and well-being, particularly concerning your schizophrenia and the importance of consistently taking your medication.

    Marshall, I understand that managing schizophrenia can be an incredibly challenging and complex journey. It's a condition that affects not only your mental health but also various aspects of your life, including your relationships, work, and overall quality of life. However, I want to emphasize the crucial role that medication plays in managing the symptoms and improving your daily functioning.

    Here are a few reasons why it's essential for you to take your schizophrenia medication regularly:

    1. Symptom Management: Schizophrenia symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, can significantly impair your ability to navigate daily life. Medication prescribed by your healthcare provider can help alleviate these symptoms, allowing you to think more clearly, maintain focus, and engage more effectively with your surroundings.

      1. Prevention of Relapse: Consistently taking your medication as prescribed reduces the risk of relapse or worsening symptoms. Stopping medication abruptly or skipping doses can destabilize your condition and lead to a recurrence of psychotic episodes. By adhering to your treatment plan, you can better manage your illness and minimize the likelihood of setbacks.
    2. Improved Functioning: Managing schizophrenia is not just about symptom control but also about enhancing your overall functioning and quality of life. Medication can help you maintain stability, enabling you to pursue your goals, maintain relationships, and participate in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

      1. Enhanced Well-Being: Taking care of your mental health is essential for your overall well-being. When your symptoms are managed effectively, you may experience reduced stress, anxiety, and feelings of distress. This can contribute to a greater sense of contentment, satisfaction, and resilience in the face of life's challenges.

    Marshall, I understand that taking medication may come with its own set of concerns and challenges, such as side effects or the stigma associated with mental health conditions. However, I urge you to communicate openly with your healthcare provider about any concerns you may have. They can work with you to adjust your medication regimen, address side effects, and provide additional support and resources as needed.

    Remember that managing schizophrenia is a journey, and you are not alone in this process. Your loved ones, healthcare providers, and support networks are here to help you every step of the way. By prioritizing your health and consistently taking your medication, you are taking an important step towards greater stability, wellness, and resilience.

    Please know that I am here to support you in any way I can. If you ever need someone to talk to or assistance with your treatment journey, do not hesitate to reach out.

    Take care, Marshall.

    Warm regards, sillycat

    You've posted several times in this thread he had zero involvement with the company that he has clear involvement in and got proven wrong in a single New Mexico business record search. If anything is massively hilarious it's how you talk out your ass from authority. Only to call people who proved you wrong dense after you make a fool of yourself. You're simply too low IQ to converse with.

    Where in those records does it say that Curtis owns it? I know ByteFilter was Veilios.
