I've been using them for a few years now.  What I have with them is a 
system which is meant to be used as a "hot backup" for a system which 
is here in my office.  So, the main things I wanted was (1) real 
freebsd systems, (2) which were someplace far away from Troy NY.  I 
wanted to be pretty sure that any problem which took out my main 
system would NOT take out my "hot backup" system!

I've had absolutely no trouble with them.  The few times that I've 
had to contact them, they've been happy to provide whatever help I 
needed.  On the other hand, my main system has been working fine for 
almost three years now, so this backup system that I have at 
rootbsd.net has not seen much activity.  I just rsync the main system 
to the backup system once a day, and then every few months I upgrade 
the FreeBSD that I'm running on the system at rootbsd.net.
