Two or three times. And each time, they blew us off. Apparently, while they deployed servers at some small and medium sized ISPs' sites during the .com boom, they will now no longer locate servers at your site unless you are very large. They won't even tell you their criteria for deeming you worthy of their presence. Their attitude seems to be, "Don't call us; we'll call you." In short, they've put themselves at odds with small ISPs. We would not use or recommend them. --Brett Glass
