I agree, but a single unverified complaint does not make them a bad host. I have had the worst possible hosts and the best (colo-cation). A couple of hours downtime no longer bothers me. I have had my sites down for days, without exaggeration, while an old host was busy sniffing the thumb he had pulled out of his ass.
