5 hours for a non urgent ticket is nothing.
......
Do they have something in their AUP/TOS/SLA about length of time that they respond within?
I think you don't need to make pressure on the guy opening a thread for each disappointment... I'm sure you can live some hours without hulu
Nope, can't find anything there
@joodle: SSH tunnel/socks proxy until then?
I'm watching it right now (buffering....)
But that one is sooooo slow, limited to 50 kb/s...
I'm on windows here
It's only been 5 hours...on a low priority ticket....on a budget provider.
That's pretty acceptable IMO, my max would be ~24 hours

Socks proxys do not work on firefox?
Not just disappointments, http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/1496/today-is-my-bday.
Looking at the price, you can't expect more, at least wait a day. After 48 hours is when I'd start getting worried.
FWIW, you should have signed up with us. I'm sitting here answering support tickets interactively.

With 30GB Traffic, how much can i view at hulu?
Where did you find 30GB traffic? Look at their plans on their website, from what I can see their plans start at 200GB traffic.
30GB for the small 1.99 plan
There are other plans, and no one is focing you to buy it.
@joodle: No idea.. quite a few of our European customers are known to use it for watching Hulu and Netflix and haven't been bouncing into their quotas.
Netflix HD content is about 1 gigabyte per hour. Not sure about Hulu. Does Hulu even do HD?
(Edit) How many MB or GB is used for every hour of watching Hulu on full screen?: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100414134700AAEDVis
@Damian
How much does 10GB or 20GB more traffic cost?
20 gigabytes at 3.1 cents per gigabyte = 62 cents per month additional.
@Damian
So if i like, get a bit short at it, i can buy extra traffic anytime?
Yeah, if you buy it with your plan, it's just lumped into your monthly rate, at whatever amount you'd like, at 3.1 cents per gigabyte.
If you buy it not as part of your monthly plan, but before you go over your allocation, then it's a minimum transaction of $2 / 3.1 cents = 65 gigabytes additional.
If you go over your allocation, then it's 8.8 cents per gigabyte.
Regardless, you should probably just wait for BlueVM to get in contact with you.
Ima wait for some time, it's a bit more traffic :P
That's good. My Don't Be Evil mantra prevents me from stealing other's sales anyway, so there you go.
Putty.exe
thats not for ssh tunneling
eh..that is? lol
That may be low, depending on how much you watch. Remember, using VPN, proxies, etc. means your traffic counts both ways, so you effectively have half, or 15 GB.
Maybe consider Hostigation's annual $20 plan then, at the Charlotte (East Coast) location -- 500 GB/month -- when it's available. Or TinyVZ at $15/500GB, in Kansas City (midwest). From recent discussions, VPSs on the West Coast (California) are currently not the best choice for OpenVPN from Europe.
It is. Here's a tutorial, in four parts, with screenshots that explains everything down to configuring the socks proxy in firefox.
To be fair, the providers whose sites you stole here waited much longer for what turned out to be an empty apology.
yeah, true..
