Somehow I did not expect they would.  Though the thought that comes to mind
is BS.  Lets see you build a whole new data center and decide to leave just
a handful of servers somewhere else.  Thats like saying your moving out of
your apartment but forgot to move your furniture!! LOL

If it makes you feel better, I emailed them yesterday regarding the
connection problems and have yet to receive any response.  Even when the
problem is fixed a good company should as a minimum explain to the customers
what has occured.  They do not even manage the minimum!!

Thank you,
