Should I Trust Hurricane Electric

Here's what I asked a sales rep:

Quote:

It would be a slam-dunk to go with HE if the limit was 2.5 AMPS- so I have to ask one more time: is is 2.5 or 2 AMPS that I am limited to? Reason I ask is that in a 4/6 email you said:

But everything else you have said and I have read says 2 AMPS."

And here's the response:

Thanks,

Then I’m ready to sign-up, if we can amend the contract to state the
following (changes in bold):

“7U customers are provided with one metered outlet with a limit of 2 amps.
If customer exceeds 2.5 amps, customer will be allocated a full cabinet,
asked to move their equipment to the cabinet, and the full cabinet rate of
$600/month will be added to the monthly bill for the remainder of the term."

Let me know if that’s acceptable and I’ll amend the copy I have, sign it and fax it back to you.

Would YOU sign this contract? I've only heard good things about Hurricane Electric on this board, but I hate having to trust someone who probably works on commission.
