friends will always fuck you
i had the same thing happen to me from a friend back in 2002, i had a dedicated from a buddy of mine at a mainstream isp host that had a few racks in nice data center in Gainesville.
When I switched to
www.phatservers.com because they were priced way better than my buddy and I gave him every chance to get competitive. no dice, so i left and went to phat.
i think i got stuck with around a 5k dollar bill also
he aint my friend no more either, the cocksucker!
