None of the larger service providers have this so called amazing 'dd speed,' (Do make note I didn't call it I/O), there is nothing wrong with this.

30MB/s is just fine for the price these were meant to go on sale for, but Oles is not impressed by the signup rates.

He said that, "3-4 racks in each location, and we're done. This market is too small, we're looking for something bigger."

Derp.

I'd like to use one of these as a backup DNS server. Is there a way to get one in the United States without a UK phone number?
