Any users of SimpleCDN?
hostester11: I did evaluations of all the Wowza Media streaming providers including SimpleCDN and also FLV hosting.When we tried their $15 trail and had a problem with their control panel, we were worried that we would be charged massive fees because of the type of downloading we were testing.SimpleCDN was contacted in November and December 08, and a majority of the time they did not answer their sales line. No call back.  No answer on tech support line.  So we called their "24 X 7" Network Operations Center and got no answer, no call-back for several days.We called them weeks later and reported the above "no answers" and apparent empty offices and NOC.  The tech became very defensive and hung up the phone.  When we sent a customer to SimpleCDN, they rejected his request for an upgrade and said they would refund his money because they were referred by me -- whome they had apparently blacklisted. Why? Apparently SimpleCDN has a provision in their agreement that if you ask them an embarassing question, they will not accept business from people you send. Wonder if Frank Wilson, Chief Engineer, SimpleCDN is aware that his company's phone sometimes rings off the wall 24 X 7, and that his techs penalize folks that report problems with SimpleCDN?I would expect horrible service by what appears to be an inexperienced and very hostile set of untrained employees in sales, customer service and support.  If you have plenty of time to prepare, and if you are able to sustain prolonged outages without the ability to contact the CDN in a timely manor, this is the hoster for you. In our opinion, they appear to have major internal personnel and operational problems.We will be publishing the results of our tests and evaluations of over 30 Wowza Media streaming hosters.
