I didn't.
But even if they had 100 servers, have you priced an OC-12 lately?
And if they actually have a server farm large enough to justify an
OC-12, then how many people would be required to maintain a server
farm that large? What about the cost of those salaries? What about
the cost of the co-location space. What about the cost of ... etc,
etc?
When you add up all the costs, and compare that to the maximum revenue
they could possibly generate with a price of $9.95 per month, I am not
convinced they put much value on truth in advertising.
