hi all

anyone using affordablecolo - they posted on the advertise forum a couple of months ago and just wondered if anyone took them up on their offer?

Shorty,

I am in the process of shipping a server to Affordablecolo. Speak to Charles if you get a chance, he's been more than helpful in assisting me with my 'bizarre' requirements and above all been most patient.

I have a few servers (and switches) with them for about two months and it has been good so far. They are also a part of Web Works which has been around for a long while and probably not going anyway.
The network is great, they are connected to many carries and I have close to 100% uptime so far. I didn't not have any technical or billing problems with them.


I know that they are very busy right now (don't know why) so you may have to be a little patient and give them a few days to send you the contract.

we are impatient - part of the microwave generation :)

as Homer Sipmson said "is there nothing quicker than a microwave"

got to say usually sales depts are quicker than tech support - so we won't be waiting there's lots of suppliers out there - we are looking to move our operation and have ordered off a couple of different colo/dedicated suppliers to test them out and see who to go with

Joe, I have been looking at AffordableColo also. I'm curious, do you know if your server will be housed in their old Kansas facility or their new Texas one?

I think affordablecolo is about the dallas facility.

I imagine you will be in dallas

If you're wondering why Charles have been so busy for the last week, well look no further. I've been keeping him busy on ICQ and email with thousand and one questions :D

Jokes aside, although they've been very busy lately, Charles have still taken the time to answer my many questions in very timely manner.

:agree:

alas maybe he doesn't like us - still no answer - we just get the odd email with

what are you waiting on?

well - I'm waiting on you following up on our telephone converstion and now 2 emails detailing my request to order a server...

our other 2 emails detailing exactly what news we were waiting for have been ignored

obviously my patience has run out and we wouldn't order now but amazing that we didn't get an answer

Shorty i dont know WHO you are, i requested your name so i could look back through all my emails and find out what your missing, but you havent sent me your name, you have my icq number and you havent icqed me saying this is shorty, you have my email address, and i dont recall ever sending out a email address, and i certainly dont have a email saying this is shorty from wht.

Please dont get on here and say ive been unresponsive, YES im very very busy, but i respond to every single email i get and some times i can get close to 100-300 emails a day.

Please email me saying this is shorty advising what your still waiting on, or icq me saying this is shorty.

I am not ignoring you, it appears theres simply been a mixup somewhere.
