Free subs to an unstable service is a bit pointless though

My sister got food poisoning at a restaurant once and as a sorry they gave her a free meal for 4. Come back and eat free at the place that ruined seafood for you for all eternity xD

I believe Vaders went hard reselling and allowing 5 connections etc was always going to be dodgy unless you had serious amounts of unused hardware and bw ready. They used to have 2 resellers, the last 1-2 month they have gone nuts adding users via all these new resellers.

A superb analogy haha.
Not surprised mate, greed (or possibly naivety but I have a hard time believing that) causes 99% of these overselling issues, fair enough if something happens out of their control but really there's not too much excuse for the amount of downtime they've had. Guarantee they've trotted out the old "We've been DDOS'D!" line at some point

As it happens... they did last week hehe. Flawless resellers are now heavily promoting vpn's now also. Of the 3 main guys, ace, flawless and fab, ace are doing it best imo. They seem to have a written or unwritten agreement with the powers that be along the following lines... "ok your on to us with your blocks, legally we are ok with stuff being outside the uk but we agree to meeting you half way. We block chans that may do 3pm footy to all uk customers and stop selling subs direct with resellers heavily limited in how they promote themselves. We can't help if they have a vpn and we will not promote them either". This seems to be accepted with ace only getting the blocks and not more hassle for themselves.

To me it is an agreement for ace to not grow much more if at all and enjoy what they have. I would rather be in that boat than where some others may find themselves. Do not take it as gospel but is my view on that specific situation. It is people like globe who need to be taking serious precautions. For a start, not having a fucking website would help. If people can't find you on irc they are not savvy enough to sell to imo and basic irc is just that, basic. Simply having said site means extra security steps that are imo very unnecessary. One day their will be ip leaks from an lea front and thats it, those ip's will then be forever linked to a heavily funded anti piracy case. Unless they take the security needed.

If one .us based company is involved with any aspect of that website hosting for example FEDS will crush the host and they will likely fold before any legal threats are made and spill the beans. They better have servers paid for by crypto on accounts set up on servers that are again anon with a network protocol stack following that method for a fair few steps to stay pretty secure.

There seems to be an explosion of suppliers on fb so if they are not stupid they will focus upstream rather than the whack-a-mole method that has proven kinda useless. Anyone worth their salt should be looking to be fully redundant imo. If not they are giving less that good practice to their customers.

Edit: if only these guys had a working proxy method to reshape traffic and give it a lot more redundancy, terrible shame that.
