The deal is good. The service? I don't really see any way to tell, as the website appears (to me anyway) to be a combination of vague and fluff. A while back Roger was in a position to help us with monitoring, and we're almost ready to offer monitoring as a service. I'd certainly price it a lot lower. For example: A few years ago we bought a small webhosting company; one of the things we did was take over their server. They were owned by a rather well known site-monitoring company. One of their monitoring services sites was left on that server. They're no longer active on that server but they were for several years. For _all_ their sites the maximum transit month was 969 mb. For all their clients. That's about 1/500th of a T-1. Divide 1.4mbps by 500, and you'll see how much impact all the monitoring for all their clients actually has on a server.
