so you don't compare the same offers. it's like compare renault and mercedes.
if you need mercedes and you can pay it, you shouldn't go to kimsufi.co.uk
but to ovh.co.uk. for the mercedes's price you will got porsche.
I was talking about them not being cheaper than OVH.

I think OVH has some of the best deals going.

And I have used rapidswitch and have to say their support is not that good and had 2 severs with them that took a week to get sorted after a fault.

I am also looking into Rapidswitch, but all I really need is a VPS. Any chance you could hook me up?

thenynoc.com also have some amazing deals on WHT

I would not say it is cheaper on the equipment side.

Infact some of their prices are quite high, but that is just me.

I guess speed must be a big issue for you to leave.

On the support side I have never had a real problem. Emails always answerd on the same day and telephone straight through.

Speeds are poor, builds are old and dated, hardware is low spec for now high price.
I am moving to RapidSwitch, as 4TB a month is fine for my users.
Hope you all get your speed back soon.
Bye, Bye.
I hope you find rocking speeds and a good level of support.

Ive been with rapidswitch before - had a gbit server with them . I can truely say you will be stunned by their tech support - probably the best I have encounterd anywhere.
P.S. Their bandwidth speeds rock, gbit meant gbit and great routing
Shame to see anyone leaving OVH - but I sympathise with you totally
