And everyone wonders why GSP's get a bad rap...

[GameConnectors]

Hmmm....15 ip\'z...eh!

 

 

 

Not sure about that. Probably looking at about ?350 per month!

Rich, when you cut him a deal on a server lease, you better be prepared to firewall him off from your support sytem, chat, email and call block your phone

[Defcon|Rich]

I sent him over to server matrix

I can hardly wait to see his posts there ......

 

 

 

I enjoy reading the posts from GSP's that are having problems there ...Their panel, in my opinion, is geared towards a gaming clan that want to run a dedicated server and multiple games on it. I do not know how a GSP can properly run their business on it, waiting for them to patch it and such.

[Defcon|Rich]

Agreed.

 

 

 

Seems like a decent panel for what it does and a good concept but as you said it's more a "clan" panel then anything that could be used as a serious GSP platform.

An excerpt below from an IM conversation with an active GSP...

 

 

 

"XYZGSP: yes but that fast e is a solid line its thicker"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yet another example the wonders of knowledge...LOL

 

 

 

 

 

Put in context: after being advised of packet loss issues on his client hardware after installing a different switch, he claimed it was due to a copper feed (versus a fiber) to his new switch. When advised he has a copper feed to his rack he made the comment above.

 

 

 

 

 

(reality check, he bought an old switch beyond it's EOL, and likely has not properly configured it)

My Fast E is bigger than yours!

quit making fun of my dlink switch! The copper is always the fault! FIBER FTW!
