They also tout a 100% up time and have backups
Umm, 100% uptime is IMPOSSIBLE. It is a quest of every server administrator in webhosting and other applications alike to have a 100% uptime. I myself would never sign up with a company that says they have a 100% uptime. That is nothing but a complete lie, and I couldn't do business with a company that would lie about something like that to the general public for simple marketing reasons. And yes, we do have backups...

I am not trying to knock your post Joseph, I just had to throw in my two cents worth here. When I saw that 100% I cringed...

"100% uptime" is like "unlimited bandwidth" It's impossible.

And no site even needs "unlimited bandwidth." Every website on the Internet has an endpoint when it comes to transfer. No one could ever use their supply of unlimited bandwidth.
They could try though... if they were the only site using an entire DS3 line.
