deja vu

This reminds me of what happened a few years ago, when a small host I was a customer of got purchased by Interland. They promised a minimum of downtime, but it ended up being days. Apparently they just disconnected the servers in midwest, loaded them up on trucks and drove to Atlanta. After a few days the sites came back up, but they were so slow they were unusable. There tech people were unable to resolve issues and I think eventually all of the customers of the purchased web host moved elsewhere.

If you buy a hosting company, isn't the most important thing you are buyiny is those customers? It would of been just as easy (easier) to just purchase a few more servers. Seems they would try a little harder.

Reminds me of the JetBlue advertisement: If it wasn't for our customers, we would just be a bunch of planes flying TV sets around the country...
