As far as the US is concerned, TER is essentially dead. A VPN is needed to access the site and US-related info has been removed. Some ladies had their profiles and reviews moved to non-US cities (London, Amsterdam, etc.) but, IIRC, TER will still remove those profiles/reviews if they suspect the provider is actually US-based. A TER number is only useful if you have a viewable non-US profile. Some clients use P411 but others just check local forums for information. The biggest problem for the client isn't finding a provider, it's figuring out whether the total package (appearance, attitude, price, available services) is a good fit. TER wasn't perfect but the quality and accuracy of the reviews was head and shoulders above anything else out there. I've read many reports of bait-and-switch and/or disappointing sessions at higher price levels. So many clients, myself included, are sticking with our regular ladies and are reluctant to take a chance on someone we haven't seen before unless we can find reliable information.
