We have recently experienced network capacity issues in both network hardware and upstream capability that has affected segments of our network. To address the capacity issues we have increased our upstream capacity of our network by 300% and are using Cisco GSR routers provided by our carriers to control the BGP routing until we upgrade our own routing equipment, which will be phased in on networks segments over the coming 2 to 3 weeks. Our expectation is that all of our clients will see a vast improvement in performance immediately. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

We at RackForce appreciate your business and in an effort to provide a positive effect on your business we are doubling the bandwidth capacity of all our customer servers for no extra charge. As soon as we can complete the bandwidth upgrade, the minimum 1.5Mbps will become 3Mbps, full duplex, per server account. 3Mbps, 5Mbps and 10Mbps customers will also double in capacity and for those on 100Mbps the cost of each GB will be slashed by 50% for all new pre-paid bandwidth purchases.

Tim Dufour,
President

For all you LUCKY customers of RackForce, check out the UserForum With people like me, purchaaseing extra monitoring equipment, software and services with external people. RackForce are now admitting, their netwrok uptime is lets say "CRAP" at the last month.

Well im glad about the UPGRADE, but still annoied with them keep going offline.

I'm sorry - we found, when we first started our hosting company, RackForce's throughput, on a per-server basis, to be much less than spectacular. I would look elsewhere!
