Is anyone using a Yahoo! RaQ? Just curious about what you think of them. With that brand name, they should be able to stomp a lot of smaller guys.

The URL for the above is http://servers.yahoo.com/ and its not advertised very well took me 10 minutes to find it.

Anyway, rental prices aren't the most competitive, nor is the bandwidth rates.

Example:
$899.00 for 1Mb/sec (megabit/second)
IP Address
16 IP Address for $45/month $75/setup. I actually worked out the cost of an IP address and I it was *a lot* less than $1/year.

So for the extra costs is it faster? Nope, Verio/DigitalNation pings beat it every time. Also its not hosted in the same place as Yahoo!, sorry not GlobalFrontier bandwidth for you.

I knew it, thought I had seen the prices before:
