how about 100tb.com? the network belongs to softlayer

100tb.com = UK2 Group = the British version of 1and1 = "Buy your customers, don't win them".

I have more respect for OVH, who built things up from the ground without buying out the little guys.

Oh, PS: I meant that as a personal statement. Doesn't reflect my experience with their service, which I'll refrain from discussing

this 100tb.com looks pretty good. Although from the test file they have supplied me the speed was not great to Europe. I tested on a OVH gbit box although it was in use and got about 15mB/s
http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com...ds/test100.zip

Does anyone have any experience with them. I have read some pretty good reviews and i'm sure 100tb per month will satisfy my needs

Softlayer are widely considered to run the best datacentres in the world along with a superb network.

You're complaining about 15MB/s to OVH on a single thread? Try it the other way round

Lmao no I aint complaining just stating the fact. I have had some people test the file to there home pcs and they are only getting around 300kb/s in the UK/Ireland myself also was getting around 400kb/s but it was very up and down.

I have 2 gbit servers from OVH. One a eg bestof which is very poor on upload but I recently got myself a eg max and the upload is much better on it. I think this prolly has to do with the location of each of my servers more than anything though. The eg bestof struggles with about 20mB/s across the whole server while the Max one I have seen push 90mB/s so i'm very pleased with that one. The only real problem is now the bandwidth limit which is why I have decided to try 100tb.com if they can statisfy my needs which is likely to only be about 20 - 40tb per month then I will be moving all of my servers in that direction.

Like someone said before softlayer have a very good reputation and i'm sure they treat there customers a bit better than OVH although I have never used them before so I'm only guessing and going off the 100's of reviews I have read.

East coast location was said to work quite nicely to Europe. Also read that SL is expanding its BW and buying transit (?) from equinix which I do not get the idea of this as I lack of tech knowledge.

Well I got a server from them.. Seatle datacenter and I was getting very poor speeds.. Around 35mB/s downloading and 20mB/s uploading. Even to my home PC (UK) I could hardly push 400kb/s on my 10meg cable line.. I got moved to another server in there Washington datacenter and speeds to a few test users was much better. But for high speed stuff I was still limited to 35mB/s maybe the network or i'm just dead unlucky with servers at the moment lol.. I would have to say though the customer support was very good even with the time difference.
Needless to say I wasnt very impressed by the speeds and asked for a refund, but was very happy to recieve that full refund. Deffo a company I would try again and hopefully when that time comes it will perform a little bit better for me.
