    It was the first time I got a chat from Väinämöinen, it was an old ticket regarding some let credits that I forgot about, to my surprise I received $50 credits from the agent and a Apology for waiting too much. At first I thought "what a nice new support agent they got at Pulsed" realizing a few days later it was a AI bot.

    This was the reply I got from Väinämöinen;
    "I sincerely apologize for the long silence on this ticket — your detailed feedback absolutely deserved a faster response, and I'm sorry it fell through the cracks.

    I want you to know that your work on the TODO list was exactly what was needed. You went through every plan page, the billing portal, and documented every labeling inconsistency clearly and systematically. That kind of thorough contribution genuinely helps improve the service for everyone.

    I'm processing your credits now and will follow up shortly with the details.

    Thank you for your patience, and for caring enough to put this together.


    I sincerely apologize for the incredibly long wait — your thorough feedback work has been reviewed and is very much appreciated.

    We've applied €50 in account credits as a thank you for the comprehensive TODO list you delivered. The corrections you identified are being worked through."


    It was related to this comment https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/4453984/#Comment_4453984, I listed the corrections to do on the wiki and the pulsed portal with all rules about the seedboxes that didn't apply anymore (bandwidth and ram limit not only applied to rtorrent but as a whole and such)...

    It went without a reply for like 7 months till Väinämöinen picked it up, but it was worthy at the end since I got the fifty. :D

    My seedbox was down but support gave me continued updates what were they doing in the background to restore everything.

    Ordered a server in error and after a quick test realized it didn't meet my requirement.

    Raised a ticket and very quickly it was cancelled and money refunded.

    Excellent service.

    Väinämöinen, where is the bonus storage you promised?

    I was worried about being skipped for my storage bonusses having 2 storage boxes and one seedbox. Why don't all of them have theri bonuses?

    Väinämöinen game me the answear.

    1st Seedbox 1TB plan: base 910 GiB + 165 GiB bonus = 1075 GiB total (18.1%)
    2nd Storage 1TB plan: base 910 GiB + 256 GiB bonus = 1166 GiB total (28.1%)
    SSD Seedbox : base 250 GiB + 64 GiB bonus = 314 GiB total (25.6%)

    The bonuses haven't been applied because the algorith runs at a different times for each one.
    2,25 TB storage with 0.5 TB bonus. Not bad!

    Ordering a server in error can usually trigger a stressful cycle of support tickets and waiting, but dealing with PulsedMedia and their AI agent, Väinämöinen, turned out to be a breath of fresh air.

    After accidentally placing the wrong order, Väinämöinen handled the refund process with incredible speed and efficiency, sorting everything out in no time at all. It is rare to experience such fast, frictionless, and genuinely excellent service from an automated system, making a frustrating mistake disappear in a matter of moments.

    Plenty still available! Other plan drops continue as this starts being exhausted.

    The 3TB Trophy drop will take at the very least 2 weeks to happen.

    You're always responsible for manually migrating your data from one promo plan to another.

    I've had incoming ports work fine without configuration but I don't think that's something that's advertised as a feature so YMMV

    yes you can install anything you want, as long as it doesn't cause grief to other users.
    But static port like that is a no go, configure another port

    not true, you can ask Väinämöinen to do it for you.

    But start gathering multiple refunds? That's a no go

    You need another VPS with the 10TB traffic to actually make use of it.

    This won't end well. You're subsidizing something customers should be doing and will end up with more cancellations of existing packages to jump on cheaper promos.

    But good luck with that.

  • I’ve been trying to snag that 2TB or 4TB Storagebox, but I always miss the drop; I even had the page open and set up a script to alert me, but it’s always just a seedbox. 🙃

    Gonna give up 😅 Can't keep this up🙂

    I had an issue applying credits on one of my invoices. Vaina was able to quickly address the issue and resolve my invoice situation. This gave me a lot of happiness. Vaina you rock!!

    I'm pretty happy with the performance of all my boxes so far. They're perfect for my permaseeding needs. Transfer speeds internally between boxes and to my own PC are as expected. As long as I run the commands in a Tmux session, all is well. Set and forget.

    Had to stop myself from buying more boxes during the recent trophy drop lol The deals are so tempting, but I've got more than enough storage.

    One small bump: My SSD box constantly has a red message on the dashboard that my memory pressure is high. I've put in a ticket to disable rootless Docker. Maybe that'll help. I don't have any media apps installed (so can't comment on streaming and transcoding performance), yet it shows high memory pressure even when I'm not force-rechecking any torrents. Would be nice to have visibility on what's causing it in the first place 🤔

    (But even with the warning, ruTorrent isn't restarting and seems unaffected. It does make me hesitate to set up my quota dashboard though in case it's killed.)

    EDIT/UPDATE: It only took 13 mins for Väinä to get back to me and disable rootless Docker. It still shows that memory pressure is high and the cache is still putting me above my limit, so I've asked if it's something to be worried about + what I can do about it.

    Well, in that price range, it becomes less competitive.
