I want to warn everyone about a company out of Los Angeles California. I paid a company called downtown colo along with a man named Attila $6583 plus put 75 of my computer servers down at his location. After paying for Colocation services and bandwidth, plus power and everything else needed to do my internet business's, this man made every excuse why the services would not work properly. First it was the power, power circuits kept blowing up and damaging my computers. I confronted this man named Attila about this and he would always say the words its a NON ISSUE. I told him it is a issue because I had signed a contract with him and his company for this power never to go down. (redundant power APC generators) Well that was just the begining of the first month and only month of service. He also promised internet access, (bandwidth) that was never provided as well, it was by far the worst bandwidth my company has every used. When asking Attila why this was the way it was he would say it's a "NON ISSUE", after not having internet access to my servers at downtown colo, I decided I was going to go down myself and pull my servers out of his location. (I spoke to him on the phone for hours and hours trying to resolve this, everything was non issue) When he found out I told him I was coming to get my servers he demanded I show proof of ownership. So I emailed him proof of all of the serial numbers of the servers, he said that was not good enough and do not bother to come out because he would not allow me to take them (I had paid my bill in full). So I called Los Angeles Attorneys and police to find out if they could me have my property returned to me. 75 servers (20,000 dollars worth of equipment). The police told me they could not help me and the attorneys said I would have to sue him for 5000 dollars to start. I thought this was just insane, all I wanted was my computers returned back to me. So this is why I am posting this, buyer beware of downtown colo.
In my opinion this company and man are a complete rip off scamming data center. No matter you say No matter you do, this man will tell you whatever you want to here. They cost me and my partners 100's of thousands of dollars. After later investigation, we found out they deal with company called Blue Sky and spam operation. (That would make sense of the scam eh). I kept persisting to get my equipment at least back but because they were in California, I could not do it without a major lawsuit.
So everyone be careful.
