Softlayer is great.
We have being Softlayer for few month now since around 09/04/2008.
We got the server at first for high bandwith client until he could get is server upgrade completed as he colo's is server elsewhere need a temp solution we no longer host is site but still kept server for other clients after all SL did for us we would never think of leaving.
We deployed site and then we ran into problems server seemed become unresponsive after a few hours.
We explained this to SL and did chasis swap and got us back online but problem remained and did not charge for os reload or chasis and even upgrade connection to make sure we not bottlenecks stoping from serving content.
After they started looking apache and using information for original server config had at other datacenter and found solutions that solved issues.
Billing dept and support dept as being of great assistance when needed them.
Overall we very pleased with SL and would not look elsewhere for quality provider and pricing for what we are getting is very reasonable.

I can't disagree with you, SL is a great host. We had an amazing experience with them and I can never get over the private network access. By far one of their best features. Other hosts should take note.

Softlayer is definitely the best Dallas company I've tried. It's good to see you're having a good experience.

SL is great yeah but sometimes we can't make something to be done without a cancellation..
Once we asked if something is possible but they told me, no. And I went to cancel the server because it's a mission critical thing but when I click cancel, they start doing it and it was possible magically! This happened 2 times. I tell them server is unusable for me without it, cancel please and they do.<<< Please see Forum Guidelines for signature setup. >>>

Agree, SoftLayer service has been excellent for us. Another gem worth investigating is NetDepot(GNAX). Service, features and hardware offering is similar to softlayer, except they're about 3x cheaper and GNAX has been in business longer.
Example quote:
Dual Quadcore Harpertown 5410 (8x2.33 GHz cpus)
500GB SATA II HD
12GB EEC RAM
Softlayer: $739/ MONTH ($99 setup fee)
NetDepot: $249/ MONTH ($300 setup fee)I have servers at: NetDepot/GNAX (A), SoftLayer (A), LiquidWeb (B+), DedicatedNow (B+), Nectartech (B) and more!

I agree, SoftLayer is absolutely fantastic in just about every way - well worth what they charge and then some.
