Anyone who has had any experience with this company i would like to hear about it 
I have heard good things but the only downside i can see is that they don't offer as much bandwidth as other companies for the same price.
I am looking for the best possible managed company i can go with.

RackSpace.comwith rackspace.com you are pretty much on your own to manage the server correct? Im looking for a company with the best managed services.I'd actually suggest Data393 - they seem to be a good company (I have a VPS with them and it's been pretty darn reliable).with rackspace.com you are pretty much on your own to manage the server correct?

No, you're thinking of RackShack. RackSpace is fully managed.rackspace? 150gigs of bandwidth on each package!!

What exactly is it that that they quoted you on, if you don't mind sharing?

Well, you kind of answered your own question there...
They are "overpriced" only if you consider $600/month of absolutely unbeatable service and support to be worth only $300/month.
We've recommended many of our clients to them over the years, and all of them (without exception) are very happy. All of them also pay an arm and a leg (compared to "cheap hosting") for their services.
I think rackspace is a good example of "you get what you pay for".
I am the first to admit that not everyone needs such high degree of service and support, although many would certainly like it. The fact is that providing the level of service/support that they offer costs a lot of money, and they wouldn't be in business or have the reputation they do if they couldn't do it.
They are a premium service provider -- not a budget provider. Comparing them to "most hosts" on price alone is not a fair or accurate comparison.
