Well you can thank 100tb / softlayer / UK2

that is so sad.

This is just wrong, I really hope softlayer and 100tb gets nailed for this

I only see one side of the story. It's not like you just disable a paying customer for no reason. There has to be some reason.

Seems the reason is they also offer CDN services, and won't allow people to host CDN services anymore, but they just were a bit too fast in terminating everything.

 

[JMimic]

100tb is overselling, they are counting on the fact of small users to buy, but only use little bandwidth. However with CDN, the bandwidth being used was too much for them to handle. Therefore in order for sales to be profitable, a termination was done. Along with updating the TOS. This is purely taking advantage.

 

[DLow]

I agree with you JMimic, I think that was the same situation

This is bullshit tbh.
Even if UK2's administration decided to amend their ToS to disallow CDN, they are supposed to give ample warnings and notices of termination of noncompliance well in advance. ANd furthermore, seeing that SimpleCDN was a rather large customer, they should have been treated with respect and given ample time to weigh-in their options and seek alternatives.
