Anyone else having trouble reaching UCG? Not a complaint... I mean, how can you expect much for $49... Curious though, not in flames, just to know if they are down to others as well.

I can get the odd packet into their rotuer... thats it. One in 30.

I'm down again too. They go down all too often!

And they're back... Just a blip - four or five minutes.

lol
everytime there is a problme with unitedcolo, someone alwyas has to pop in and say "What do you expect for $49"

BUT STILL
i dont think that is much of an excuse

Hmm

My SSH session has been idle for 8+ hours. Unless its some packetloss? Could you post the traceroutes next time. So we get a better idea.

Why don't you chose another host boy ?

Find him another host that offers a 1.7 GHz server, 512 MB RAM, a 60 GB disk, and 100 GB transfer a month -- and actually provides it -- and maybe he will. Until then, I think UCG is providing one of the best deals out there. Plus, I got the impression that people found the 5-minute downtime to be entirely acceptable.
