[sm69]

Hi,

I am wanted to buy a DS from bluemile.Need informations about them.

Are they reliable?
Is their network capacity good?

Need review from existing customers.

Thanks

wizzsolutions is their reseller, and customers seem to praise bluemile network, so i guess it's reliable for now.

the question is, how well they can handle much more traffic going out of their network when they get close to the size of 100tb.com.

*Apparently* they are adding 200Gbps in transit to their network over the next few weeks.

Not the foggiest - I didn't think they had a huge network but looking at Wizz - they must have some major capacity. Adding 200Gbps seems like a heck of a jump though, I could be wrong and have the figure mixed up in my head but I'd swear that's what I heard.

I had wizz contact me letting me know they were adding 170gbps.

Looking at bluemile, it seems they got big catering to the local VOIP market and enterprise customers, which is presumably why they have transit from a lot of Tier 1 carriers (telcos mostly). I would guess that most of this b/w they're buying is Level 3, since L3 is, among the carriers listed on their site, the one with the most reputation for offering good prices on high commits like this. FWIW, doing traces to / from the box I have with wizz, all the routes I've tried so far go via level 3.

The performance is pretty good from what I can tell on the box I have.

Wizz need more responsive sales personel. Seems that they dont want me

I get better offer with companies that dont even host official 100tb deals

Pretty hard pushing those 150Tb with those low specs, single drive, low memory etc Atleast for my usage.
So their business modell is better than 100tb.com i guess. For them..

Hi there,

I have just checked our pending pre-sale inbox and could find nothing that was not answered.

Can you please drop us an email to sales@wizzsolutions.com and CC me at roberto@wizzsolutions.com ?

Alternatively you can open a ticket without registration at:

I will make sure this is handled for you ASAP.

Thanks!

You would be surprised how many clients actually pushing those 150TB on such low end hardware

I can understand the unfriendly impression due to the delay caused within your sales email response,

You have mentioned 11th January, Which was a pretty heavy week in terms of sales, We had many new orders daily and almost on hourly basis due to the 150TB promotions thread.

However if you ever decide give us a try, I promise you, We will do our best for your satisfaction

Have a great day ahead!

It looks like they recently added a link to Cogent aside from that their AS has been pretty stable.

It is always interesting to watch how these things scale out once they start getting real traffic.
