They have gone through complete server and equipment overhaul. I know what you
mean but that's all over. I was close to leaving them but was too busy so I
stuck it out. What I like now is how they are totally transparent. They
respond very quickly and effectively. We are spread out geographically and
use IM for most chatting, and cannot live with down time. Ditto with trouble
tickets and the managing of them. We have not seen any downtime for a year
now.
