Can anyone tell me if BitInstant is safe to use still??

[Extravagant]

Before i dump a buncha money on bitinstant i wanted to get some feedback.

I havent been around for 2 weeks and the last time i used BI it was kinda a train wreck. I sent money to em but got the "Unable to connect to MTGOX"

Just curious is it safe?

Thank you all,

Last time I used it was more than two weeks ago.

but mtgox was actually down a lot recently. So the error message could be legit, and not their fault.

It worked for me during the "crash".  I was skeptical of the price that I was locked into.  I asked them about why I received 1.2 when I thought I should have received 1.5, but they never replied.  Nevertheless, I did receive my bitcoins within 30 minutes.

It has become much better in the last few days, so I think it's once again safe to use and depend on.
