Their dedicated stuff is dirt cheap, although if you are trying to put your own OS on it they are quite a pain (some ancient Java web plugin). Networking has been occasionally unstable for me, though. Their vlan stuff being 1400 mtu is also annoying.

> Their vlan stuff being 1400 mtu is also annoying. does this suggest that their networking gear is also dirt cheap or is this just an artifact of legacy compat and/or not wanting to wory about jumboframes?

  1500 mtu has been around for a long time. It's less likely their gear is cheap and more likely they're using that overhead for encapsulation.
