[cobalt-users] Alcom Internetix

[sally@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just thought I'd add what I know from experience - it might save some of you from the same trouble:

I colocated with Alcom when we first set up and within a month I had experienced more downtime than I care to remember, and the lousiest customer
support I've ever dealt with.

At one point there was a power cut (so much for their UPS backup). Having left me and my customers in the dark for around 4 days as to the reason for
the outtage,  I was told that the cut had fried my hard drive - or, in their terms, "sorry mate - your hard drive's shagged."  Very professional.
They took absolutely no responsibility.  Thankfully at that point we were still in the testing stage, with only our own and friend's sites at peril,
but I cancelled my account the next day.

To top it off - I found out that they'd tried to run one month's extra payment through my bank account the day I left, even though I left with 3
weeks credit, (which I'd actually told them to forget about refunding, in an effort to ensure the safe return of my RaQ!).

We switched to WebFusion and I have absolutely no complaints at all - they are fast and helpful when you call them and they give honest answers.
Best of all, we've had 100% uptime with them since we joined in March.  Ironically, the only reaosn we didn't consider using them initially was that
they're £50 a month and I figured they'd be terrible at that price!  You only get 5GB bandwidth with that, but extra is dirt cheap (2p /mb), and at
least you're only paying for what you use.

Anyway, that's just my experience - maybe Alcom hired some polite new people and fixed their network...
