Congratulations to Crunchbits! You guys are an awesome company, and I constantly recommend you to others! I really hope to keep using your services. Also, hope my annual-plan VPS migration goes smoothly, just like the support ticket outlined. Oh, and I noticed in the post above that some users have already finished their migrations—is that true? (Excited to know! 😄)

(By the way, I'm quite interested in the news mention about being "forged through a unique career path spanning military service in the U.S. Marine Corps" that was mentioned.)

In December to Jan a big chunk did get migrated, but then we knew we'd be doing a wide roll-out of upgrades so things got paused. Of course, my definition of ambiguous timelines of things like "shortly" or "soon" doesn't always match third parties Where I come from "shortly" means within the hour (give or take) and "soon" maybe extends up to the following day.

I didn't write their PR--only made some recommendations based upon what I knew I would be doing and saying for our customers, but yes I was enlisted in the Marines. Feels like yesterday still in many ways, but it's been 2 decades at this point. Good times, very useful mindset tools.

@crunchbits said: Below is announcement that is also outbound to all customers via e-mail. It's going to take quite awhile to chew through all accounts--so I'm also posting for visibility.

TL;DR:
Crunchbits is now part of Synteq Digital. You’ll see faster infrastructure, quicker hardware turnaround, and better support—with the >same team behind it all.

Changes Coming Soon™:

DIY VPS revamp — newer, faster hardware rolling out this month. All existing customers will be upgraded free of charge.

Storage VPS upgrade — more performance, same pricing. All existing customers will be upgraded free of charge.

Cloud GPU improvements — same pricing tiers, better hardware. Existing customers get first access if they wish to migrate.

Sorry bro for being late here, just wanted to say

Keep up the good work

Cheers, HOST-C

Thank you sir. Never late, always very appreciated. I know you're working (just a little) harder than I am

Phew ... that sounds exhausting. I work in higher-ed. "Shortly" means a week to a month and "soon" means a month to six months unless it's documented as Real Soon Now in which case it's six month to two years. I couldn't live like you.

It's a sliding scale. I don't mind, but it's not fun when I expect my version and get your version

I just prefer "by Friday" or "Next Wednesday" in that case. The ambiguity is tough--especially when there are 50 moving parts.

So you saying you already doing the corpo talk even before the merger?

How should we judge a provider that says "within 24 hours" and then ignores the ticket for 24 days?

Nothing specific. Just different worlds.

Depends. If it's your ticket should be minimum 72 days cooling off period.

I have a question for a friend.
Liberty Lake is as it seems backhauled via Seattle, if you connect from the east coast.

Any plans to get direct links? SEA is about 140ms and Liberty Lake is 160ms if you are unlucky.
I will forward this message to my friend.

this free upgrade includes automatically setting all services to be cancelled without notification?
