JasonF Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Steadfast got hit with a DoS attack tonight and just about blocked my server out due to the bandwidth loss. They said they are aware of it and it was going through AT&T and they were working on blocking it. Just a heads up to any other Steadfast customers.

jbiloh Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 1.5Gbit is really nothing. I've seen carriers get hit with 15 times that and not flinch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon|Rich Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 It's actually amusing since Karl was bashing softlayer on WHT and making statements about SF NEVER having those kind of problems.. Welcome to the world of big time hosting Karl where you measure your worth in floor space not racks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwidjib0 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 1.5Gbit is really nothing. I've seen carriers get hit with 15 times that and not flinch. That's very true.. but Steadfast, as most dedicated providers, are unfortunately beneath the capacity of a major NSP. It's actually amusing since Karl was bashing softlayer on WHT and making statements about SF NEVER having those kind of problems.. Welcome to the world of big time hosting Karl where you measure your worth in floor space not racks.. Yep, it happens to the best of us. Actually Karl did just expand some nice real estate up at Cermak from their first cage at 2k sq. feet. Not a big chunk of floor, but floor nonetheless.

jbiloh Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 If you can't take 1.5Gbit you shouldn't be in the business of renting IP transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I would agree, though that does knock out about 95% of the market. It actually looks like AT&T were the ones getting hit with the attack, who as I'm sure you already know is one of the largest Tier 1's. You've gotta love when all of those Comcast customers start calling in because they still won't peer with freaking anyone else. Boooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetservers Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Don't get me started on SF!! I'll behave.. I read some posts a few weeks ago here, and I must admit tommygun had a point, SF is not that great. =Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daersun Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Ive been very happy over at steadfast, when you have ATT and a ddos goes though ATT you have 1 choice - depeer. They dont allow community blackhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
