The customer service aspects of it are less impressive. I originally
thought, based on information available at that time, that GoDaddy
did a decent, or even a good job, at "handling" the call. Today,
I think they did an OK job. Nothing exemplary, but definately not
bad from an operations perspective.

What is interesting is the concept of calling a rack, or a row, 
a "datacenter". It's becoming more commonplace for terms to
be exaggerated these days i.e. "datacenter".

Another interesting point is that GoDaddy charged a $199
reconnect fee. They punished the operator for the behavoir of their
customers.
