Cisco ASR 1000 Router
Aug 2, 2009I'm buying Cisco ASR 1000 router that should handle 2 Gbps bandwidth. Please advice on components, models, etc.
I have a vendor, but I'll appreciate any reference, based on your experience, on where to buy one at reasonable price. I think I can probably get refurbished ASR 1000 or similar as well, if the vendor can guarantee the quality of the device.

10Mbps Vs 100 Vs 1000 Uplink
Jul 6, 2007What kind of difference will I see between my server having a 10 vs. 100 vs. 1000 Mbps Uplink?
If I had to choose between 1000Mbps Uplink w/ 3000GB/mo BW or 10Mbps Uplink Unmetered, what should I take into consideration?
What will the impact to the customer be speedwise?

Apr 25, 2009I recently ordered a HP ProLiant DL180 with LeaseWeb. During pre-sales communication on April 3rd I was told that the KVM card that comes with DL180 is buggy and I won't be able to use it until HP fixes it. Considering the "strategic partnership" between LeaseWeb and HP, I thought they'd fix the problem quickly, so I went ahead and ordered the server anyway. Now it's been 3 weeks and still no word on the fix. Anyone else with a DL180 in the same situation?

Apr 23, 2009I want to share my history/review with leaseweb.com..
I needed a quick setup server for a Windows Media Services service, I have several servers at softlayer.com but I decided to test one of the most famous European providers leaseweb.com .
So I talked with their sales and told that I need a 24 hour setup server, I wanted only that. So the sales quickly make pay for 6 months of an express windows server. No problem until now.
24 hours later I contacted their sales, and they said that my server would be provider today or maybe tomorrow (48 hours later!)
1 day later I contacted leaseweb and they said that they didn't have any stock of hardware to make the server.
2 days after the order on this day morning I contacted their sales and setup team again and they said to me that my server would be delivered before the end of the day.
At the end of that day I contacted their sales and setup team AGAIN and they said to me that they don't have stock of windows 2008 or windows 2003 standard (? WTF ?), I talked with them for more than half an hour.
They wanted to give me for the delay a cheaper server with a windows server 2003 WEB. WHAT? A windows that don't even support windows media services and a cheaper server for their mistake?
I asked if I waited one more time if they would be able to setup any server with windows 2008 or windows 2003 standard, the answer was "we don't know"..
So let’s resume, leaseweb only works from 9am to 5.30pm European time, they can spend 4 days without hardware or windows stock ( how is that possible ) and they want to apologize with a cheaper server with a cheaper windows...
....
So to any of you that have servers at leasewed.com , what will happen to you when some part of your server stop working?? You will have to wait more than 4 days for hardware stock, some days because of your windows licenses and some more weeks for support??
....
I would recommend anyone to pay more for a good company, not this companies that only can support your server 5 days a week for some hours a day.
I have asked for a refund at leaseweb.com let’s see if that refund comes or not, maybe in 6 weeks?
Leaseweb.com
Nov 13, 2008A thread titled "Leaseweb.com is very very bad!" has been closed recently "by request".
Don't know what it means. Kind of censorship?
Whatever, I'm going to tell you how they are good at Leaseweb:
They have no dectection of duplicated IPs, so they let you configure an IP belonging to somebody else on your interfaces.
If, evently, the problem is detected (somebody else complaining), instead of pulling the plug, they send you a mail, kindly asking you to remove the offending IP.
So they are very good at Leaseweb. They forgive your errors and let you experiment with the network.
And what about "somebody else" having his web site down during several days waiting for you to correct your mistakes?

Another Bad Experience With Leaseweb
Jun 19, 2008We ordered dedicated server on leaseweb in beginning of April 2007. We are small company so selected most cheap of available solutions. All what we needed is some reliable network and hardware for our services, to make it stable for our customers. I paid from my personal Visa, it seems it was a mistake and we needed more reliable way to pay to Leaseweb, anyway I think this is not related to problems we experienced. It was agreed that Leaseweb will charge us automatically at the beginning of every month, using same card.
Everything was just fine for several months. We received invoices by email, I checked bank records periodically and made sure card is billed. First alarm came at the beginning of October 2007, when I received odd email from Leaseweb re: Final Payment Reminder marked as URGENT. I checked bank records and found that we are actually charged for this. I contacted Leaseweb and asked what's happened (ts #302732). Reply was very short: "Apologies. Please ignore the reminder. It has been paid". Well, fine, we understand, such things may happen sometimes, no problem. So we forgot about this small incident.
Next one happened early December 2007. Same situation, but this time nobody billed the card. Requested Leaseweb again, answer was "Unfortunately this seems a little error from our side. Please ignore the reminder as it has been successfully debited." (ts #321403).Well, okay.
But it happened again in beginning of January 2008. This time I sent short message like "guys, tired from your small errors", nobody replied, but issue was resolved.
When it happened next time in March, I ignored it (not specially, just missed the mail).
It seems issue was resolved, however, and charge was made.
All the above cannot be considered as a serious problem, just some unpleasant and alarming thing. Real problems started in beginning of May 2008, when my card became expired. Leaseweb administration informed me they are not able to bill me anymore, and asked for wire transfer. I updated Financial section in SSC with new card info and asked to repeat the bill with these ones because I have no chance to send wire transfer by 9th of May. They said ok (ts #374569). No more questions or requests from Leaseweb.
19th May our server got down without any visible reason. When I contacted Leaseweb, they said I didn't pay invoice, and if my card info was changed why I didn't send new credentials to them etc. I replied "how so, I updated SSC, I informed you, you said ok" etc. No reply. Then 21th May they restored the service and sent apologies(ts #374569). I think it is not necessary to explain how much fun we had in these 2 days. We had to urgently restore sever on our local network that is not reliable enough but better than nothing. Switching DNS, payment processors, setup of app and DB etc. But we didn't complain. I decided there is a part of my fault here, I didn't performed necessary actions in advance. So we just moved everything back, and forgot about the issue, and were hopeful our problems with leaseweb will not happen earlier than card is expired next time. But we were wrong.
7th June server was disconnected again, with no any alert, notification or even invoice.
Just disconnected. More than, when we checked it, we found that our IPs are used by another server already. I sent quite angry mail to Leaseweb, we started to restore server from backup and damn Leaseweb. 17th June (! in 10 days, can anyone imagine?) they wrote:
"Your server has been decommisionned by accident. We can offer you 1
month for free if you want for a new server with the same
specifications." (ts #374569)
No comments, except that we refused the offer. Our losses only on refunds and CHBs are much greater than "1 month for free", not counting other losses that we cannot estimate in money yet. But even if these guys by some miracle suggested to compensate all the damage, it would not change anything. Idea of use dedicated server is service stability.
But stability is just not possible with these Leaseweb terrorists. Nobody knows what bomb they will blow up in another couple of months.
In summary, I think people who works with Leaseweb take significant risk for their business. I'm just hopeful this story will help to make right decision for some people.
Leaseweb, It Had To Be Coming
Feb 29, 2008In January I ordered a server with them, knowing that their support isn't the "best".
The server info ended in spam folder, but that isn't their fault I guess. They advertise that every server comes with 2 IPs, however you only get 1. Until you request that 2nd IP. However, when you call them out of working hours, they tell you that you have to pay 135 euro (about 200 USD), great I will wait for tomorrow then. So the day after I called them again. The person I talked with, was very friendly and started to work on it. About 5 hours later I received an email with the second IP information. I added it, but it didn't get assigned. I rebooted the server etc. Still no 2nd IP. It was already 'after working hours' so I had to wait again, because I wasn't going to pay 200$ for an IP. The day after the guy on the phone tells me they assigned me an IP that was already assigned to another customer (lol)..... Ok, so I asked him if I could get a different IP than I was supposed to get. (Now I had to fix my DNS settings also, but o well....). The new IP info arrived in my inbox about 80 minutes after the call this time. After rebooting the server everything ran flawlessly. I manage my own servers, so I didn't contact their support again.
On the 21st of february, I called their administration about cancelling the server (they had a new offer, which suited me better & because I only wanted a fast network for this server, I didn't care about their support), I was told that if I submitted their cancellation form the same day or the day after, It would be taken care of before the end of the month. So I filled it in and sent it to them on the day after (22 february).
Today I called their administration to check if everything went ok (I didn't want to order the new server & pay the old one at the same time). I was told: No, it isn't cancelled. She checked that my email was there & indeed it was sent to them. She then asked me if I could wait a minute, so she could ask someone else what to do. She told me that she would assign me to a sales guy, who would be able to tell me more about it. He told me that the cancellation has to be done X days in advance. Which I did, then he said: It has to be done a month up front. I asked him why I was told that it would be cancelled on the 22 of february, but now I had to cancel it the 1st of february. He said it was a mistake. There was "nothing" he could do (or wanted to do). I don't have the time do anything about it, so I'll let it be and just pay for another crappy month.
Great, now I'm fed up another month with their server. What if I didn't call them today? I would have had 2 servers with them & they would have, the only thing they want: Money.
Just One Bad Leaseweb Experience.
Jun 30, 2008Wherever Leaseweb offers or offered colocation or dedication the computer floors are always overheated. Prevention of Power failure is reduced to the absolute minimum. This month they had problems again in their socalled own datacenter. Nobody ever mentioned that the center they use in Haarlem Holland is not even theirs. The problem occured again when we were looking for a provider, beginning of this month. We all know when the temp goes up on the floor, the server goes down: laws of nature!

Bad Experience With LeaseWeb
Sep 3, 2008I ordered a dedicated server from them 31st of August. The server was delivered about 36 hours after my payment, which is OK.
However, the root password in the email I received from them didn't work. I instantly mailed them back, and it took about 12 hours for them to fix the problem.
After logging in, I noticed that my server wasn't running Debian, which I specifically requested, but CentOS. I instantly emailed them back, and asked them to reinstall Debian. It took them about 8 hours to ask for my root password, which I of course had changed by then. I replied with the right password, but up until this moment, I haven't received another email from LW telling me what they are planning to do with this problem.
I know, you don't get any proper support from LW without paying hundreds of dollars for SLA, but this goes way beyond my imagination. After all, I haven't received what I ordered. They really should support AT LEAST that, right?
I'm going to ask for a full refund tomorrow, if they haven't fixed the problem by then. Never gonna go with LW again.
Leaseweb Bad Support
Nov 28, 2008I order a server on 20th or 21st nov 08, and they said i will get it on 27th, I ask them many times to make that sure. finally i got it 28th. Again ok, it's just 1 day.

No i donno what to do. Before i order the server i had a talk with the sales person,
First Bad Review - Leaseweb
Nov 26, 2008i guess this is the first time in ... 6 years since i do online business, that i ever got this kind of bad service.
I purchased a server from leaseweb, a dual xeons, on 13 nov 2008. They said that activation takes 7-9 business days. As weird as it seems i asked first if the delivery could be speeded up, and after 1 day they answer to my mail, that the delivery cannot be sped up, because that's that.
Don't get me wrong here, but as far as i know a datacenter operates 24/7, not with business days and holidays.
I sent a ticket in yesterday, and i got no replies, and as far as you see my server should have been delivered the LATEST, on 24 november.
It's 26, and they way you saw server from Leaseweb ... i saw it too.
Anyway, this is just my experience, and i might just have ran into a tech that did not eat his pizza today, and became grumpy, and thats why i have waited for 2 weeks for my server with no resolution.
Anyway, i am filing chargeback now on paypal, as i don't feel like getting the server anymore.
LE: My SSC username and password is not working anymore either, for some unknown reason.
Paypal dispute charged. ... All i can say is wow, i have been very fortunate so far, and ... i NEVER encountered such lousy customer support.
Leaseweb Alternatives
Sep 20, 2008Purchased a 3-month test period on a dedicated server a few days back but directadmin failed to boot from the outset, support wiped everything and reinstalled onto another partition which worked fine for about 12hrs.
Now I can't even FTP, tried rebooting from service centre etc. nada! probably hardware failure, Prices seemed too good to be true , glad I didn't move my entire site across [active forum with over 10,000 members] as the response time seems to be in days rather than hours.
Any reliable alternatives offering similar packages for similar money?

Leaseweb Overage Charges
Apr 12, 2009Over the past 48 hours, we've been subjected to a packetflood of ~70mbit, varying by time of day. In a normal month, we use no more than 600mb of traffic in total, and are limited at 2TB. This attack has already used 1.7TB as of the end of Sunday and shows no signs of stopping yet.
Does anyone know what leaseweb charge for overages? I cannot seem to find the information anywhere on their site (and their support takes 3 days to reply, by which I will be over). Idealy, i'd like them to nullroute the UDP port which is being targeted (many services run off the IP that is targeted) however they refused to do this for a similar attack in the past despite the fact that it would solve the issue at hand.

Leaseweb Support Experience
Mar 25, 2009Server is not responding after reboot for 7 hours now. Opened a ticket #552286 (for any Leaseweb guy reading this thread) but none cares about my case. Ok guys, i do not have and SLA but 7 hours for you to take a look it is a pretty long time and i suppose you are going to take a look at it during Netherlands morning time (another 7-10 hours) so i will have a 24hours downtime.
I don't think you have 24hr support. It is a 5-10 minute job to take a look at my case and tell me what is wrong but obviously you have none on duty. I was thinking that internet was a 24hr business thing.
