This article is largely correct. Although we do cloud now, my company started as a access provider that was pushed out of the industry once Michael Powell changed the rules eliminating competition. If people knew what Internet access costs to deliver (small fractions of what you are paying) they would be shocked. Sadly, in the long-run it leaves the USA behind the rest of the world.
Thanks for the feedback. We have a new interface & website, but weren't able to get it up by launch time. I agree, DO's interface is prettier, as well as their website. They do a great job with the design over there.
I work for Atlantic.Net and we have the FreeBSD logo on the homepage at the top, we also mention it in our FAQ as a supported OS:
