ttttravis's Review of Airstream Communications

Overall Rating

Don't block port 80 and allow you to run a webserver.
Decent customer service, they kinda knew what they were talking about.
Bad Points
Allot of downtime
Block TONS of ports including 25 and do not allow you to run a mailserver.
SLOW and OVERPRICED - it costed $40 for 512 down and 512 up most companies will give atleast 5000 down and 1000 up for that price.
General Comments
Airstream Communications is probably one of the worst ISPs you could possibly have, while the support is decent sometimes they don't reply to support emails. My biggest complaint was about the port blocking, I wanted run a small server with email and everything for a site I run, I had my webserver setup just fine, however my mail server wouldn't send mail out, I emailed them and they said they were blocking serveral ports and port 25 was one of them and that it is against their TOS agreement to run a smtp relay, after reading their TOS it did say that, they said I could upgrade to a Business Plan which probably cost a few hundred a month, and I would get a static IP with no port blocking, this was obviously not an option for a email server with 5 or 6 accounts. I have also seen other customers running mailservers finding away around the blocking, but I didn't do that. I was very disappointed about this, and the speed/price. WOULD NOT recommend this company or any of the companies that branch off it.
