@Texkonc Odds are after their changes based on the source.

Was that TOS before or after?
That is the new/current ToS that you have to click you agree on before you can access your instances.

They can't require a new ToS to access something you already own. So they aren't even remotely valid.

So I've got the email around 4 days in a row now. I cancelled my account in 2015 and double checked that I couldn't get into the portal. So they are apparently just spamming previous customers regardless of status with the same email.

I am gettign them also, but my account has never been canceled.

Still none have come to me.

Submitted a ticket today to have my account cancelled, four days after sending them an email asking to cancel my account.
I keep getting the suspension notices eventhough I asked them to cancel the account. I considered reporting them as spam... hmmm how many people reporting spam does it take to get a domain blacklisted?

Lol, it's begging for a link blast.
Also, it's tempting to remind them of the follow up they promised 2 years ago about that massive outage (before we knew we were being had)

I honestly thought C@C was a few guys running a data center in their house. It just surprises me that a ISP would do something so poorly. As bad as AT&T is I couldnt see them doing anything this shitty.

Well, ISPs used to always people a couple people in a garage. That might be all that they are.

Don't you remember the 1990s? nearly all ISPs were tiny little garage jobs with a T1 or two coming in and loads of POTS lines going out. It was THE model for ISPs in that early Internet era.

@scottalanmiller That was our local ISP here to a T; Literally 1 T1 and a 3Com Total Control so they could offer 56K speeds
