Yeah as much as I like @MarkTurner, my experience with Delimiter has been incredibly frustrating. From long lead times to 0 response from Steve on multiple different occasions. When he does respond it's a one liner with no detail.
I really want to like Delimiter but until Steve has someone else doing sales with him, I wouldn't bother wasting my time.
I think as @Mikeyur said the coupon has never been cancelled, so the few that remained are more than welcome to move across.
We have L5630 in stock, racked and ready.
So in the meantime enjoy QuadIX
Now that was just rude
Honestly, regardless of who you go with be it Dacentec, Delimiter or Quickpacket as the few popular ones on LET - It'll be a damn lot better than Quadix, that's for sure!
@MarkTurner I have zero services with them. The majority of servers I have are with @Ernie and @QPS.
Maybe Delimiter one day.....
If I remember rightly you've ordered a few servers off Delimiter over the years.
As its working for you with existing suppliers then there is no reason to look for others. Placing more servers with few suppliers gives you more leverage and builds better loyalty.
More meant to be flippant
They are not that bad, I think their main issues is bad network design and also poor choice in server hardware.
Well a friend of mine had about 10 days on his server left and they wiped it and changed his idrac...
So I'd say network design isn't the only issue.
@markturner I've definitely had a couple of servers with delimiter and the services are great. The support just needs a little work / prodding and they'll be a top tier provider.
This was handled quickly and we kept everyone up to date during the outage. This was the result of a third-party DWDM system that was upstream and out of our control. Diversified equipment routes are present, but this also caused a systemic network-wide problem. This has been replaced and new diversification added. We have had 99.9% uptime or better over the last two months and will continue to make sure that our services see 100% uptime in the months and years to come. An official RFO was sent to all existing clients.
We kept our official twitter updated during the issue and were answering our support line around the clock.
If any EXISTING customers see any issues moving forward, please always give our support line a call, check our official twitter and our official status page which is being released this week. We have 24 x 7 on-site staff and support that can quickly assist with any issue. We are also issuing SLA credits, please open a support ticket to have this applied to your account.
We will also be releasing in the new year a "Delimeter Refugee Sale" with better service / spec / price point..
That's the spirit. Im waiting...
@VolumeDrive that is both awesome and hilarious! Delimiter refugee sale haha! Can't wait!
Tired of uptime? Come on over to Quadix! haha... no really I mean, nothing personal against the VolumeDrive guys, as I've said before I'd have a beer with them anytime. They seem like perfectly cool, hard working guys.
...but they still cut a lot of corners on their setup and they know it, and it shows. There's always a great elaborate explanation for why they had downtime, meanwhile all of their competitors are up and running and not having to explain away downtime. It's just the reality. Time to stop talking a big game and start walking it instead
Ive used VD for some personal stuff before and I have to say it's not that bad, I mean you can't really expect the best network on such a low price point. however, their servers are still good for those who don't have a high budget to go to providers like leaseweb. Overall for the price, I would say they deserve a 7-8/10. However still gotta work on that downtime, its irritating when your server is down for more than 12 hours and you don't get a response on ticket.
I would love to see where they're going to go with that, I mean they're prices are already one of those unbeatable prices.
Edit: did I meantion that they offered 10Gbps DDoS Protection for free? Never got an attack but they claim to have it..
Really? At which ISP? Surely can't be your joke of a data center.
BCP38 coming soon? Of course it isn't, you'd lose 75% of customers.
No one goes to VolumeDrive / QuadIX for reliability, we all know you're:
allow spoofing and ignore
A) cheap, sans quality
C) as reliable as the greek economy
Guessing IPv6 coming soon, like more than 2 uplinks?
Finally, let those who don't BGP peer & host Iranian ISPs on their network cast the first stone.
They mad lol
Really? That's strange because I find them all the time. OVH, online.net, delimiter, quickpacket... All cheap hosts that don't have to explain away hours of downtime every 1-2 months.
We have had very good uptime over the last few months. As mentioned previously, we have 24 x 7 support with a direct support line if you want to speak with a technician at 2AM.
We'll be posting it soon.
savage AF
Well I guess I wasnt there for those months
.
@chairhosting let us know if we can be of assistance in upcoming months.
You've got to stop this, I hate laughing so much that I have coffee coming out my nose!
I've had another 8 of your customers in the past 5 hours.
Well those are exceptions, they have a large client base. Also, I dont think any provider can beat their Dual X5650 Model. Maybe some providers can squeeze out a server that can compete with the L5630 Model. They include SSDs too so its hard to beat those prices.
This refugee offer? Whats the setup time and do you guarantee delimiter uptime?
We will post the offer soon and yes we guarantee uptime through our SLA.
These threads piss me off, I proved that VD lie and offer a seriously substandard service with facts and figures about 6 years ago, they have done nothing but get worse ever since and people still buy from them and complain when things go wrong.
truly unbelievable.
I have personally spoken to many of QuadIX's LET customers both during the Refugee offer and in the weeks following.
Almost all have been upset about the network dying repeatedly, packet loss, losing power to their server, server being wiped, non-performing IPMI. Its the same story month in, month out.
Who is actually a QuadIX customer still? Are you satisfied with the service? Do you have any uptime stats for your server(s)?
I just got my Quadix server a month ago, I haven't noticed any issues besides the week and a half setup time. I'm starting to wish delimiter answered my emails though with all your comments. Maybe I got lucky?
Sorry, I think a certain host owes me a new keyboard now.
Was that sales emails?
