Has anyone ever had any experiences with calpop.com for colocation services?
Are they Savvis, or just pretending to be Savvis:
http://www.calpop.com/network.html I like it where they say CalPOP's Network has been rated the #1 rated backbone in the world -- and a) the contact for calpop.com is someone at hotmail.com b) both calpop.com nameservers are on the same /24, likely plugged into the same switch and same power supply c) both calpop.com nameservers report only one NS record, which is a third machine sharing the same characteristics as in b) d) The TTL is one hour... I guess that's so they can pick up and move to, say, an XO data center real fast. I think calpop.com is a cabinet inside a Savvis co-lo, not that there's anything wrong with that. -mark
