[MLUG] opinions on colocation company

[Pascal Charest]

Hi,

I've had quite a few clients renting servers, half-rack & full-rack in
Montreal (some of them @ iWeb) - so I guess I can compare.

They are one of the many companies in Montreal offering that kind of service
(other well known/notable: Canix, Hypertec, Telus, Bell, peer-1, ...). I did
find iWeb to be a bit more 'talkable' than other providers offering similar
services - they tend to employ peoples (at top of the ladder) with good
technical background...

I've had some problems getting to their sysadmin (they always
'call-you-back'), but then, I don't normally interact that much with on-site
peoples...

If you have specific questions, feel free to ask.

P.
