How is Burstnet network quality?

    I am thinking about coloing a server with Burst.net because their pricing is the best in the US east coast (correct me if I'm wrong). However I've seen very mixed reviews about them. Burstnet is generally not famous for offering *quality* BW. So I am curious to know actually how is their network?

    I'd be grateful to hear your first-hand experiences.

    We haven't had any network issues at all with the stuff we have there. Have never used Miami...just LA and Scranton.

    WSWD, If their network is solid, can I ask why you use other ISPs for your linked sites?
    Thanks

    Good question! We took InstaFree over about 15 months ago. It was already in another datacenter and the clients were happy, so we didn't want to move things around. Things have been solid there. As far as our main site, WSWD.net, we have been with WebNX forever, out in LA. We needed a premium provider in LA, which is where our client base is primarily located. We host our main shared/reseller clients out there on the premium network.

    Burst is not a premium provider. They are a budget provider (quite possibly the best budget provider out there), and fit that niche perfectly for our clients who are looking for budget services. Have yet to experience any hardware or network issues at all, but as I mentioned, have never used their Miami or UK facilities. I can only speak for Scranton and LA.

    For USA network is perfect but if you consider having customers/visitors from worldwide consider very often timed-outs.

    Yea, they are awesome. I would give them an A+ for their ratings. In general, they have had issues, but I've had a site that
    was hosted there for like 4 years... and they where fine though.

    Taking into consideration the situation you have fetched up at, I can suggest you to look at webhostingstuff review web site and find any possible customer hosting reviews about them.
