There’s an advantage to working with a company that owns their own equipment and understands network engineering. Fast Serv has powered my internet radio station and websites for over two years - delivering incredible uptime, dependable bandwidth and excellent support. Highly recommended.

I have used Fast Serv since 2004 and I have been more then satisfied with the quality, support and professionalism. As a person who went into the Internet radio business with no little or no sense of computer knowledge, Fast Serv have helped me with situations of every nature. They walked me through the learning of how to set up the station, setting up the web page, setting up my stream, and even how to pay my invoices. Even when they do maintenance, there is hardly any down time. If its professionalism and quality you are searching for, then you came to the right place and your search is over. Thanks to Randy and all the people at Fast Serv for always giving us the best.

I know there are cheaper and more expensive providers, but Fast Serv has never failed me. I’ve always found their support and advice to be on spot on every time. Nothing within their power is a bother and is always attended to swiftly. There are some unique requirements when you an Australian net-caster, such as low latency and good global peering. These were easily handled by Randy & crew without a problem. I like to call Fast Serv my “preferred bandwidth supplier”.

About a year ago, I needed to find the best hosted streaming solution for my client Lakeshore Communications, Inc (Q90FM). Their existing streaming audio was budget prohibited and the sound quality was poor. I examined several streaming audio companies based on financial stability, longevity, and responsiveness. Fast Serv stood out in the crowd because they surpassed the competition hands-down. TechRx, Inc. researches information technology solutions for clients and helps them make the best possible decision. So, when I say Fast Serv did the job; I do not speak lightly about it.
When I moved Q90FM’s streaming audio signal to Fast Serv we immediately saw an immediate and dramatic increase in listenership. The best part of the service was the ability to transcode (or broadcast in multiple forms) the online signal. Their technical support was an amazing asset to our switch; and I feel confident to recommend them to anyone looking for the BEST online hosting.

We switched to Fast Serv a couple of years back from (another provider)... since then, Fast Serv has been absolutely rock solid. When there are going to be problems, they’re very good about notifying their customers well in advance. It’s very nice to know that our encoder servers are something about which I do NOT have to worry! We’ve had several offers to switch since we started with Fast Serv.. we just laugh at them and decline politely.

With hundreds of connections continuously for years on end, even with a very tight problem-free operation on my side, Fast Serv’s reliability and service are still the least of my worries. One thing that stands out is the connection speed. Fast Serv is an important part of the formula that’s given AM 1710 an average four times the number of listeners of the next closest station of its kind.

BlackLight Radio
Customer since: August 2005
Services used: Streaming Media
I’ve been streaming audio on the web since 1996, and live streaming since 1999. For years I fought with providers who were sometimes up, sometimes down, the problem must be on my end, we don’t see a problem, etc. I did my research and found Fast Serv was very highly recommended. Since switching a number of years ago to Fast Serv, I’ve had nearly 100% up time, and the only (short) time I’ve ever been down, Fast Serv notified me before I even knew about it! Customer service is amazingly fast and responsive, and it’s the type of company that sends you E-mails saying “Everything’s fine, just wanted you to know we’ll be here 24/7 through Christmas if you need anything.”
Five PLUS stars for a company that has done the impossible: surpassed EVERY ONE of my expectations. I couldn’t imagine risking hosting with anyone else.

Fast Serv host web sites our for five domains and our radio station’s live audio stream. Over the last four years we have moved all our web services to Fast Serv. We have a twenty-four hour a day operation and depend completely on reliable access to our email. And, the live stream provides the main audio feed for a remote transmitter site. The support from Fast Serv is fantastic. It’s like they are just around the corner, not half way across the world. We get almost instant responses to our questions and rapid action when we want to expand or reconfigure services. And, the price is right! We’d recommend Fast Serv to any small or medium business, anywhere!

We had issues with several hosts before we switched to Fast Serv back in 2004. Since the move we no longer worry about whether our websites are online and functioning; everything just works. I cannot recall the last time we ever noticed downtime on our sites. We manage several high volume E-commerce sites including credit card processing and Fast Serv has helped us every step of the way including custom back-end coding and PCI compliance for our two most important sites. I highly recommend Fast Serv to any small or medium business who depends on up-time and knowledgeable support that truly goes above and beyond the rest.

After a period of moving from one host to other, we finally arrived to the world of Fast Serv on January 2005. Fast Serv was able to provide affordable and competitive solutions to our needs. We started with a few Shoutcast streams, continued with web hosting and we ended up with a fully dedicated server a year later. After the transition, we were able to operate on full capacity 24/7 having solid streams and excellent services.
Customer service is remarkable. It is very fast, responsive and always giving solutions to the problems. Fast Serv technicians supported all our efforts and were there to give solutions and advice on each step of development of our network. We highly recommend Fast Serv for internet radio broadcasters and any small to medium businesses.

Customer since: October 2003
Services used: Streaming Media
The 1920s Radio Network, a big band and nostalgia facility, has been using Fast-Serv since our beginning in 2004. We currently have 3 streams serviced by Fast-Serv, one on a Ashburn Virginia server and 2 on a San Diego server. I am happy to report that the downtime with these services is so insignificant it is not worth mentioning. In fact any disruptions that may occur are usually localized near our studio or an IP hop outbound to Fast-Serv. In addition to rock solid reliability Fast-Serv has great technical support; Randy has answered all my questions and has helped out with web hosting and other related items.
Fast-Serv is so reliable that I often forget how to access the control panel! You guys are much like our automation systems, StationPlaylist…works so well I forget you’re there. Thanks!
