Yup, for about 3 hours. In the last 9 months I've probably had about 2.5
days of downtime, mostly at weekends.

This is well below the level of service you would expect from a leased line,
but that's why it's so much cheaper!

XCalibre look pretty good value - they're a RedBus sub-letter (?!) £85 for
1U and 10G - £125 includes a server. www.serverhoster.co.uk. Rather tempted.
