Anybody have experience with PANIX.com?
http://www.panix.com/shell/prices.html
I am rich. Money is no object.
$100/yr for a full shell (no dialup though)
What do you all think?

You are rich but want advise from LET market? Cool dude
Those prices at these years? Amazing
Do you think they oversell?
With those prices, of course not!
Oversell what? Logins?
I used to know someone who had a panix.com email back in the day...
I think you're all undervaluing the service here...sure, Amazon S3 is 1/10th the price, but if you run low on space will they lend you some more? I didn't think so. And remember, your data has a "hot spare".
Specs aside, $5/mo for shared isn't a bad price. I mean, yes, if you want to nitpick details you can complain about 2GB disk, 1GB bandwidth but really, its's shared. No one reads your blog anyway.
Actually...wait. What if I have 2GB of files? I guess I can only let someone see half my site at most before I'm topping off at $1/GB.
You know, I'm not a provider, but if anyone wants that service, PM me because I'll start a company for someone who'll pay those rates.
Finally, I'd like to point out that @impossiblyStupid 's utopian ideal has been achieved. No exploitation of the third world here - their consulting rates start at $250 an hour. Though "Certain standard operations may be less". So if it's something they run into all the time - like Netscape Navigator not loading Lycos correctly - you might get a break.
I think that's a sign of strong demand. High price + limited supply = Strong Demand.
if you rich, just purchase, then test it your self. It's only $100/y
