@admax said: This configuration is truly amazing. I remember DP said what he promised to do with these, but I can't recall.

Yeah, well, I was never a customer prior to this, so I wanted to try them out since I've heard good things about them, and I managed to get two of the 2GB plans.

On top of the constant website resource issues, my order kept failing, but when it finally went through, initial card payments then failed and the charges were reversed.

Didn't want to hog the invoices longer than I should and risk losing the orders, I paid using PayPal where surely there wouldn't be any issues.

Cope.

Coped nicely

Took it as a "give and take" kind of situation and wasn't complaining about being charged the 19% VAT, despite being a non-EU individual.

Oops 19% vat for non EU customers? That's heavy

Well, it is what it is, and I have nothing against @Hosteroid, to be honest.

I would have been more than happy to pay and continue using my card, had there been no issues at the time.

If it were me, I would do the same.😉

I now remember what happened.

It was due to the "Fraud Check" error that the payments were then reversed.

Yeah. Nothing against it. But would be nice to see that provisionally removed for non eu users.

I think they may need to change accountants.

I guess this is it... after more than a month long of megathread, my life is in shambles now. But guess what? It is a new year that comes with new beginnings, new hopes and new adventures. I don't think it will be an easy one for me but the challenges are what makes life exciting.

All good things must eventually comes to an end and frankly this is as good as it can get. We had a lot of fun but I don't think it is fair to hold any of us here and spend even more time than this, there's a bigger world outside of LET worth enjoying.

35 days of megathread with more than 2 thousands pages of comments contributed to ~0.1% of my lifetime and I have no regrets spending my time here. It feels almost as if a beautiful dream that I have to finally wake up and to face the reality.

I don't like goodbyes because I will never know when is this next time meeting them (or never), and I don't like the fact that nothing lasts forever. However, knowing the fact that nothing is permanent let me treasure the moments even better.

Thank you to the megathread squads @beanman109 @emgh @admax @itsTomHarper @plumberg69 @lukast__ @Saragoldfarb @DP and providers @SilverCreek @host_c @onidel @kuroit and a lot of you guys who are almost here daily just like me (I apologise if I missed your name). The event is nothing without members and participants and providers like you guys. The addiction to LET and deals are real but thankfully (or not?) this all will finally comes to an end.

I don't think I will ever forget this month long megathread event in my life, but I apologise in advance if I cant remember each and every of your username. I am sentimental and I bet you I will definitely come back one day and read all this wonderful posts again whenever I feel nostalgic. (I admit I did that for some of the past megathread before and I always feel very fortunate to have you guys)

That's all from me and have a good 2025 ahead. Thread will remain open for whatever discussion needed but will set to sink now and no more deals should be posted here.

Thank you! @FAT32 💖

We're bring nice. Not even complaining that you charge VAT to people outside of the EU.

WE also provided 25 free of charge services to LET members during the christmas/new year mega thread, we're bring nice too, not even complaining that half of people didnt respect no paypal payments for flash deals

@Hosteroid thank for all the awesomeness.

Sorry, I still don't get what you're trying to say here.

I don't often make promises, but what promise have I not fulfilled?

@Hosteroid said:
@DP @FAT32 Find me cheap 1U colocation providers to sustain 6$ deals
In locations that we arent already! Make sure also that traffic is unlimited for unlimited traffic deals

Let's just do the $6/year deal at any of your existing locations and I promise I will pay for it in a sustainable manner

@Hosteroid
For a €3/yr VPS, I will manually thank each and every of your posts on LET

deal or no deal?

@Hosteroid i will up the bid to liking every comment and post.
