> Here is a company with a history of making tall claims and then doing a 180. How is pointing that out a red herring? >> That isn't particularly relevant to service quality and stability, is it? The claim being made is unlike Amazon, they won't let reddit down. It's relevant to point out these guys have made tall claims in the past and failed to deliver. I won't do business with someone who let's sales swindle customers. Even if the engineering is awesome, there is no guarantee sales didn't sell you something they couldn't deliver. As far as service quality and stability goes, the only way to evaluate it is to actually switch. > Maybe it's just me, but I try not to pay much attention to PR bullshit, since they have to make bold claims in order to succeed. It's possible to do PR without bullshitting. You can always publish your actual numbers viz. number of customers, downtime history, avg issue resolution time. If you are resorting to bullshit, that means you don't have actual goodies.
