    A word of caution to any people considering this company.

    He already deadpooled ""Spearware Networks"" once before https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_fl/L17000081827

    He blamed his poor choice of business partners (only one is registered on the LLC which looks like it is a brother or cousin) and the business partners pushing frequent aggressive sales

    Now he is back with the same name https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_fl/L20000299549

    Doing the same frequent aggressive sales and looking at expanding while he has not enough customers to fill his first server or rack it looks like he only has a small amount of customers https://dnslytics.com/bgp/as212647

    This company is being run by someone who still has a day job https://linkedin.com/in/michaelkspears (netgate being evil is another topic)

    He talks ""we"" and ""our"" but it looks like a single guy doing all this work pretending to be a bigger than the company is

    Why is the fiberlight deal fall throiugh?

    30% off! ""flash offer!"" that is 5 days long.. it looks like another deadpool is coming in the future

    I'm going to ignore your username and just respond to your other "points".

    1) I never used the Spearware Networks name for a hosting provider or anything for that matter until now, that was why it was dissolved.

    2) My prior LLC that was used as a hosting provider was The Winter Hill Companies, LLC (http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=EntityName&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=WINTERHILLCOMPANIES L190001150881&aggregateId=flal-l19000115088-cc954da5-b18b-47c3-b50a-9dd0b4270f29&searchTerm=winter hill companies&listNameOrder=WINTERHILLCOMPANIES L190001150881)

    2a) You can clearly see that my current LLC does have multiple people on it. http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=EntityName&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=SPEARWARENETWORKS L200002995490&aggregateId=flal-l20000299549-736ceee5-bd89-4980-b7f6-b14513d98bb0&searchTerm=spearware networks&listNameOrder=SPEARWARENETWORKS L170000818270

    3) You can't base the number of customers someone has based on how many mail/dns servers someone has on their /24.

    4) FiberLight deal fell through because they lied about knowing where their equipment is.

    5) Many people starting companies work dayjobs. Also, nice job doxxing.

  • One more thing... I stated in that thread, this was longterm expansion plans. I'm not starting another location for at least 6 months to a year.

    if you only have one /24 and it is under 30% used this is an indication you dont have many customers

    How many customers do you expect a new company to have?

  • @SpearwareSucks said:

    You don't need to know how many customers I have. Why does that matter to anyone?? Just know that I'm breaking even currently.

  • @SpearwareSucks said:
    that is not doxxing you did not hide your name or your company name or try to make yourself invisible everything is clear and open

    Posting my linkedin counts as doxxing as I didn't share it.

    @SpearwareSucks With all due respect, he just started this company (yes its his second one, but stay on track here). The fact that he actually has customers for this venture is terrific. The fact that he is here responding to customers and unique gadflies is terrific as well. Contracts falling apart are a business fact of life. I'm sure in the future he will only mention signed sealed and delivered contracts/features to eliminate a whole bunch of naïve questioning.

    Finally, if you think 5 day flash sale is long, I refer you to the one shared provider selling last chance deals for 2 years and the other with the for a limited time only double bandwidth. or the ones with short holiday sales but still provisioning in Feb/March.

    If you are an aggrieved customer from his past, these things are best resolved in private with a man to man conversation. Public arguments are rarely fruitful.

    Just my 2 cents

    You dont think people will search u?
    But I removed the link sorry

    but everything else is fact

    IT is just a warning for other people

    @SpearwareSucks are you a customer? If not, I'd be willing to give you a few months free so that you can actually see we're providing a quality product with no plans to go anywhere. PM to discuss.

    I'm not a kid in my mothers basement (I hate those providers also). Also Florida doesn't have basements :smile:. I haven't lived with my parents in years.

    I'm not trying to pretend I'm larger than I am. Spearware Networks is myself, my wife, and one other business partner, you can see this by looking at SunBiz (http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=EntityName&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=SPEARWARENETWORKS L200002995490&aggregateId=flal-l20000299549-736ceee5-bd89-4980-b7f6-b14513d98bb0&searchTerm=spearware networks&listNameOrder=SPEARWARENETWORKS L170000818270). I own the hardware, have my own ASN, and am trying to do right by my customers so I can grow. Yes I might be a little cocky at times, but who isn't.

    Not happening. Once you put something on the internet it's there forever.

    History lesson from an old dude - Hewlett and Packard started in a shed, jobs and Wozniak (you do know them?) started in a garage. Not exactly moms basement but in Calif basements are hard to come by (pesky earthquakes and such).

    You can change your username by going to https://support.lowendtalk.com/ and submitting a ticket. Also I didn't talk crap. My prior business partners weren't the best fit, and that's what I said on discord, however the way things were worded could've been better.

  • on discord you say my offerings are less aggressive now far less rapid expansion

    after u post 2 sale threads and an expansion thread

    this is annoying for everyone and makes u look like a dumb kid in a basement

    i asked to change my username to spearwareisok

    ok

    My sales threads are less aggressive. I'm not doing constant 50% off promos, also I'm not giving away the farm like in the past. Expansion thread was planning the future. I'm not adding any additional locations for at least 6 months.

    Well that was an interesting thread de-railing. Back on topic now! If any customers would like to post a review or benchmark, that would be extremely appreciated. No perks for reviews as that would be wrong.
