Dear z_one.
Thanks for your extremely nice discreption you are gave us. Earlier this year infact after the new years eve exactly we had a down time of 20 days due to major changes happenning. This was our Down time reason which occured.
Now concerning DDoS which we had experience with like any other Shell Services and maybe more. Seems like you know sh*t concerning traffic filtering and DDoS activities. First of all if you care to check if we even *ALLOW* ICMP packets to our servers 2nd Concerning UDP ALL our UDP non-used ports are closed. Third if you do not know DDoS do not come from one specific IP in example this Small attack on one of our hosts:
http://www.ushells.net/DDoS.html
Although we are on a 100Mbps connectivity through multi-oc from above.net we find difficulties sometimes filtering them.
And yes alot are giving it a try now holding more than 500 happy customers.

This might show to you how stable our connectivity is.
B-1 uptime:1:32AM up 19 days, 2:32, 5 users, load averages: 0.25, 0.27, 0.23
B-2 uptime: 11:55PM up 50 days, 22:18, 10 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.01
This is our uptime showing you probably how rock solid are.
People like you trying to look wise giving there opinion and there solution to some problems makes this business look bad.
"When my bnc went down, it took them 1 week to restart it !" Your bnc ?? us restarting it ? it's your job not ours to do so.
Have a nice day.
