My netcup experience
I am really satisfied with netcup. However, there was a phase where the failures accumulated and I was not satisfied with the speed. At that time, I looked around for a netcup alternative.
However, then came a last announced outage for only 5 minutes, which significantly improved the speed of my website. Since then, there was no further outage and I am still with netcup and now completely satisfied again.
