Hi,
Anyone know some good companies that provide good service with reliability and uptime that provide unmetered servers for a decent price?
Thanks

There isn't such a place and if one existed you don't want it. You are asking for trouble with umetered.

I guess it depends on how far you want to go with the definition.
If it is Capped but unmetered, there are web hosts offering that on a 10mbps or 100mbps line.
If it is uncapped and unmetered then probably you would physically find one which match that specifications. They could oversell their specs but you wouldn't be able to find such a bottomless pit machine around.
It depends on two components, your server and your connection. You could get the best connection such as a OC-192 line plugged directly into one server but chances are the current hardwares would not be able to handle the load. Network pipes are limited by specification and there is nothing you can do to go beyond that specification without adding new lines.
If you need to serve a large audience and requires the almost bottomless pit bandwidth and the ability to handle the load, you might want to look into acquiring one or a few datacenters and spread the load across hundreds or thousands of systems.
If not, just gauge how much you really need and just get the server which fits that + a little allowance. If it grows beyond that, just add another server to the network and so on.

You might want to check out fdcservers.net if you want unmetered bandwidth.

RackForce.com is unmetered last time I checked. I was a customer of them for a while. Overall it was good. But I had some problems in the end. Search on here for them.

Nocster.net and Rackshack.net both offer 10Mbps capped servers.

What are your opinions on Rackforce.com? They seem good and reliable.

You might want to contact them to find out what the cap is. When I click the 'Build Now' button, I realized that the unmetered is capped at 1.5mbps or about 489gb/mth. But because of the 1.5mbps cap, you might not be able to push a lot very fast.
"RackForce offers 3 levels of connectivity:
Level 1 = A Redundant, Un-metered T1 Connection
Level 2 = A Redundant, Un-metered 10Mbps Connection
Level 3 = A Redundant, Metered 100Mbps connection
Un-metered T1 connectivity is included FREE with each dedicated server. This level of connectivity is sufficient for most web servers. However, for enterprise and high bandwidth users, there is the option of upgrading to an un-metered (10Mbps) connection or, for the ultimate in connectivity, a Metered (100Mbps) network connection. This bandwidth can be purchased on a usage based model for $3 US per Gig with a 100Gig Minimum purchase. Bulk purchases are available at reduced rates. For more information contact sales@rackforce.com.

Of course, the metered plans are on the 100mbps line which probably might do better but since you are looking for unmetered, this might not be acceptable to you.
