Hostdime, network maxed out ?
I was taking a look at hostdime and by looking at their mrtg graphs on this page:
http://www.hostdime.com/datacenter.shtml
It looks like all of their DS3's are maxed out (42-43 mbits / 45 mbits).
I would be interrested to hear about current customers. Do you experience slow speeds ?

It looks like they have plently of room on Time Warner (not sure what their actual commit is), but it's strange that they let their DS3s become so full.

Yes but what if your route to the server is not via TimeWarner ?

Also, the speed test on their website is located at NAC ?

Also, note that their ATT MRTG image hasn't updated in a while, that's not pulling real time stats.

Although I don't host with host dime I must defend them, as they were very kind to me in the past.
The reason the speed test is at NAC is that before they got their own datacenter they used NAC.
As far as the connections goes... Well you will have to take that up with them. Seems strange to me that they would not balence them among several providers (perhaps they took into concideration that TimeWarner is an awesome network and decided to make their timewarner connection bigger and went a little crazy). Also it is strange they arent using realtime statistics, however I have talked with a few of the people there and I am pretty sure that they aren't being dishonest or misleading, it would be very out of character.

I agree. HostDime/SurpassHosting (they are the same datacenter) needs to do some major network improvement. Personally I think they should make all their carriers OC-12 or faster.

We have recently upgraded to an OC-12 from UUNET from a DS3
We will also be dropping XO due to their bad level of support and connectivity issues.
In best interest to give the best level of service to our clients we have made that decision.
This will leave us with the following Tier 1 Premimum Providor Backbones
OC-48 Ethernet Handoff TimeWarner
OC-12 Fully Burstable UUNET/MCI
DS3 Fully Burstable AT&T
For any doubts or questions on the exsisting mrtg graphs, they were old and not being updated dynamically
Which is why we felt the need to take it offline as it might have been misleading.
We expect to have the new MRTG within a few weeks after further testing is completed.
