    Talking Does anyone have any good reviews on Directspace or use them ?

    Im currently considering directspace.net/dedicated_servers.htm due to the high volume in bandwidth, Im just wanting to know if anyone uses them currently or had used them and would know if their worth a try.

    If they can offer you the cheapest web hosting solution ever - be accurate that is not the sign they are the best ones. As people suggested here - do the search for their reviews

    Personally I saw some packet loss on the VPS I had with them. May have been the VPS/node, who knows. Support was fairly knowledgable and fast (the initial reply anyway). Can't comment on their dedicated servers but if the packet loss issue is their network, I'd look elsewhere (10tb has been rated highly around these parts).
    Hi, I'm Ron, a pleasure to meet you!

    I have a VPS with them, but I have to say, the service/price ratio is pretty good. However, I can't comment on the dedicated offers.

    Might want to check out a different provider. From what I can see, their 'BGP-blended' bandwidth is just a single-homed connection to Cogent. I guess it's fine if you are needing a massive amount of bandwidth cheaply, but being single-homed to anything is a bad idea. If you're looking for a good provider that provides a lot of bandwidth for a low cost, check out FDC or 10TB.

    Hi there,

    Actually we had a major issue with our other blend getting turned up (right now everyone is glaring harshly at Level3 for the problem). While our cogent bandwidth is quite good, we are aware people want a better blend and are working hard to make sure we get things lit up with them ASAP :-)

    Your website says that you have AT&T, MCI, and Sprint in addition to Cogent. Seems to be false advertising. I'm gonna stop arguing though...

    Those were the ones we signed on and they're active, just not mixed into the BGP.

    There is a problem with the BGP on Level3's end and since everything is coming to us as a blend, it's an 'all or nothing' kind of deal.

    We can give you a test IP if you wish to see but that's up to you :-)
