They are OK. Ive had one for years without any real problems, except for
the lousy support. For instance, one of the nameservers assigned by
their dhcp server has not existed for the last 18 months or so, and they
don't know what I'm talking about when I call. Irritates the hell out of
me. And them too, I expect, as I call whenever I feel like a bit of
helpdesk abuse.
