Buying based on your connectivity is not a good idea.

Buying it based on best connectivity to the world is though. New York being perfect.

Drama / Re: Ephilates: Seriously bro?

« on: December 14, 2012, 09:00:28 PM »

I didn't run a test, I posted a screenshot of data, no effort was involved from me and I was helping Kalphiters client by showing evidence of the potential cause of his service disruption. In any industry, when a customer is losing out on time they are paying for there should always be a reason for it. Kalphiter isn't the best at noticing or acknowledging genuine issues so I just fill that gap for him so clients aren't left in the dark. If you don't understand why this is nothing but helpful, you're a handicap.

Just checked through some of my posts from the last in Kalphs topic, notice how most of them show clear and developed understanding of the issue being addressed (network and datacenter quality concerns, code) with a whole argument based on facts with statistical evidence often provided and contrast that to the genuine stuff posts in the RTB thread and you'll see why your argument is petty and void. Your posts such as "ephi stop deleting my posts" were nothing but straight spam and I don't see why you have a problem with Ephi doing his job and moderating the forum.

Posts in the RTB thread that raise issues, quality concerns or suggestions are quickly acknowledged, explained or resolved with the customer being kept in the loop. Genuine posts will never be deleted, stuff posts that add absolutely nothing have no place in the thread and by definition are considered spam, hence why they're deleted, read the forum rules.

RTB hosting have had connection issues

Could I see some evidence of this please? Ping probes and network monitoring disagree with you 100% and if you'll be kind enough to provide me with a rough date and time you experienced a connection issue I'll happily provide you with data to show you your network problem was localised.

I think you're basing your review solely on some petty grudge, but I'll give you a chance to deliver on this.

Huge unfair advantage right here guys

Not sure what competitive advantage is being gained, pointless and unintelligent drama has no place here, the drama forum is for that sole purpose.

I'm not sure where you're getting this from, it does not have problems in the "late hours of the night" anymore.

I'm getting it from your post but ok.

How about that public Pingdom report?

You mean a problem in the late hours of the night? It's not a poor quality network either, you just make yourself believe that.

Any problem is a problem. If my datacenter had a problem in the "late hours of the night" they'd owe thousands in compensation on SLA terms. You see the difference between good quality and poor quality? Would love to see a link to your public Pingdom report.

Network problems without a doubt, average ping is over double.

I did notice a slight packet loss (a few 10s of seconds) across the three MTRs I run, however I am pretty sure it was after your incident. I found a good solution for recording when and where issues happen.

Just a heads up, a long running MTR isn't really a helpful metric as ICMP packets will get rate limited and give you incorrect results, you should look into some better monitoring. If you get loss at nodes inside your providers network, especially at core router or peering POP level, time to contact your provider. Running a MTR from a single location (gonna guess your house) and seeing loss on local nodes is never an issue of any magnitude.

I saw you post about Server4You's poor network quality on a public forum, are they really that bad at acknowledging problems?

Quoting this fantastic new development due to page loss from pathetic arguments. Please take the drama elsewhere, none of the arguments are intelligent, well structured or really relevant to the continued development of this service and I'm bored of it. I appreciate everyone's opinion on which service is better and the support everyone is giving but this thread is not the place for petty arguments. Thanks.

If it's web based, then how is it an app?

It's a web application, the term is widely used in the development community.

Sounds like hardware or localized network issues in NZ. Perhaps you should install or write some more comprehensive monitoring so you can be more proactive Kalph? Shoot me a PM if you want some suggestions.

Happy to disregard any talk of lag from Kalphiter at this moment in time, all metrics look normal on monitoring. Any client with a genuine concern about lag, please submit a support ticket and we will run some tests to identify the issue.

Add-On Management

As a more user friendly alternative to FTP, you can now upload and delete your add-ons directly from the web panel. To upload, simply select multiple files from the "Choose files" button, or just drag and drop your add-ons into the browser window and they'll upload straight away. Removing an add-on is as easy as clicking the delete icon in it's row.

FTP is still available for advanced users but this hugely simplifies add-on management for everyone else. We're committed to adding new features based on user needs, keep checking back for new developments.
