“I use Crunchbits (Synteq). The server never went down last year. Their fiber went down on two occasions but I didn't lose access because they routed through another premise — it was slow until fixed, which took less than a day both times. I find their service good for my needs. My server is in Spokane, WA.”

r/VPS
r/VPS is where developers and sysadmins discuss VPS providers. When Synteq comes up, it's recommended for reliable uptime, fast in-house support, and honest, unthrottled pricing.
“Crunchbits (Synteq) is premium. I'm mostly dedicated servers these days, but they're one of the VPS's I keep around.”
“I'm happy with Crunchbits (Synteq). Mine have 3GB RAM but they have a multitude of configurations to choose.”
“I've been happy with Crunchbits (Synteq).”

LowEndTalk
LowEndTalk is where cloud hosting enthusiasts trade honest, no-marketing takes on providers, and it's where many of Synteq's earliest customers found us. These customers praise the uptime, the support and the pricing.
“In conclusion, I really like Crunchbits (Synteq) technically and support-wise. My experience has been nothing but good with them, and I highly recommend them. Their bandwidth pricing is great and isn't marketed as "unlimited" while throttling you.”
“Been using Crunchbits (Synteq) for a while as well. Uptime has been stellar. If they've actually been upgrading a lot of networking related hardware behind the scenes, they have done a great job of not letting it impact customers.”
“Two redundant 100Gbit/sec lines from Seattle to Spokane alone. Most providers would just rely on a single fiber line and then go out through a cut. Crunchbits (Synteq) was obviously built with a lot more care than most, yet the pricing does not reflect that and is awfully cheap.”
“I used to have like 4 crunchbits (Synteq) wa vpses. Those were some good ass vpses. Man I miss those times.”
“Any questions I had were quickly answered (often within minutes!). Most support tickets were answered by Rafał Hacuś, who was super helpful and responsive.”
“I have two VPS with them, and I can talk about only good — really great uptime, good performance, support for these prices. I can think of them as a "partner" not just a provider (rare).”
“Crunchbits (Synteq) is great and Eric knows what he's doing and runs a good operation. Flexible to his downstreams, it's nice being able to just LTO gear and pay it off in 10 months or early.”
“I've been a customer of Crunchbits (Synteq) for years and I've had zero problems. Rock solid service, good performance, awesome support.”
“Crunchbits (Synteq) have very good service, I love them. Their customer support is very fast. It's my 3rd year with them. There is no one better than them in terms of price and support.”
“IncogNET uses them in Spokane and Valley Forge. Probably the reason why they're stable still. There are also others using them like kyun.host and HostBilby.”
