Ever since NTL:home upgraded my broadband connection to 10Mbps it’s reliability has dropped significantly. At least once a month I lose a few hours connectivity to the Net. This might not seem too bad to some but I use the Internet a lot and many others rely on services running from my servers. I’m hoping that the faults are caused by the on-going upgrades NTL are doing as they move more customers to higher speeds. If not, I’ll be force to relocate my servers somewhere else, maybe in a managed data center somewhere? Anybody know of some cheap rack space in the UK? I’ve used server matrix in the US but its very expensive and only makes sense for game clan servers where you can split the costs.
I know, it’s a shame that your NTL connection has been so unreliable recently – I finally had to bite the bullet and move my blog to a commercial host after Christmas – it might not be the most important blog in the world, but it’s important to *me* – and it’s become more important to me that it is reliable available.
For what it’s worth, I switched to GoDaddy – just a web hosting package for now – but their prices for virtual and dedicated servers struck me as pretty impressive, for the features they’re offering. I *might* move to a virtual server in the near future.
