Wow... yea that's a great offer.

But their marketing just reaks of my local cable promotion offers that I get in the mail (selling really bad products with horrible gimmicks).

"Only 39.99/mo for the first 6 months"

And then it's like $210/mo after that.

And they only ever put the $210 in size 8 font on the back of the advertisement.

It's a great way to test out their infrastructure, sure. But the $300 credit they offer could afford the same experience.

Coming into an already highly competitive market with a gimmick like that and overall pricing that is double that of your competitors does not sound like a recipe for success imho.

I was really excited about a new competitor in the cloud space but was immediately turned off when I clicked through to their pricing page (after reading the offers on the homepage).
