Terrible company Having moved to another provider I find that Rackspace are taking money from my bank even though my account is closed. I can't deal with them because the account is closed. They say they will investigate and ring back but never do.

Frustratingly bad We signed up in the hope of using access to cloud data storage, however, this past year has produced so many issues I've spent more time trying to manage their customer services than I have our data. They are slow to respond and do not adhere to their stated processes or our agreements. They're inconsistent, unreliable and from my experience, untrustworthy. We've even had our payments to them credited to another of their clients. Possibly one of the worst service and customer service experiences I have ever had.

Double Charges; High Staff Turnover We were paying for the same service with Datapipe. Then Rackspace bought Datapipe, took 5 months to switch us over and double-billed us for those five months! Ex: We paid Datapipe for monitoring from Jan-May, it took Rackspace 5 months to move our account over to their systems, and then in May they sent us a surprise arrears bill for Rackspace service during Jan-May. We've fought for months to get this amount erased, and it's been frustrating to say the least. There is high staff turnover so your "contact" suddenly isn't there anymore. There is a lot of chasing down the right people, multiple times, only to be treated apathetically. Several-year user of Datapipe/Rackspace looking for alternatives now.

Constant issues with outages and roadblocks to canceling account Constant issues with outages and poor support left us with no option but to set up new hosting services through AWS. Now we can neither delete the servers we have at Rackspace nor cancel our account without having to call in to their support line. These are basic controls that should be provided at the account admin level; however, Rackspace does not provide this to their customers. They'd rather, present inconveniences and roadblocks to make it difficult to stop using their services thereby allowing them to keep billing you for as long as possible. In addition, once you call in it takes them 3 business days to cancel your account.

Fanatical Support? Not anymore. Abominable Support All the staff who knew what they were doing has been replaced by Indians, who have NO CLUE. Open a trouble ticket, nobody ever responds. Weeks and weeks go by. Issues aren't getting resolved. I'm done, making plans to exit Rackspace. It's difficult when you you're a reseller and have several hundred accounts, but it needs to happen unfortunately. Company is going down fast.
