I'm looking to change providers I use about 1800GB a month with my current provider. My question is how many mbps will I need to cover my bandwidth usage. Educate me :)
 | View Full Version : 1800GB A month = _______mbps? cabalstudios 02-09-2003, 11:23 AM Roughly 5.6Mbps... -Shazad xyrate 02-09-2003, 11:24 AM Edit: posted too late richy 02-09-2003, 11:33 AM it depends on how much burstability you need. if your useage is totally even 24 7 and figuring in overheads then 6 mbps, if you are buying by the mbps capped then you need to see your useage stats and figure out what ceiling you need, if its uncapped then 6mbps. cperciva 02-09-2003, 12:24 PM You'll need an *average* of 6Mbps; or a 95th percentile level of 9Mbps, or a maximum of around 15Mbps. 2Grumpy 02-10-2003, 01:24 AM We did 2200 gigabytes in January and 9.8 megabits on 95% measurement. Just to give some rough idea. RossMAN 02-10-2003, 01:30 AM Originally posted by Dixiesys We did 2200 gigabytes in January and 9.8 megabits on 95% measurement. Just to give some rough idea. Whoa I'd hate to see your bandwidth bill :D 2Grumpy 02-10-2003, 01:34 AM $4250 for that data center in question. Edit: any wonder why we're moving those servers to Atlanta into DV2's data center in March? It'll save a bundle each month (roughly $2500 or so) eddy2099 02-10-2003, 01:38 AM It is difficult to determine in mbps that you require. It is true that 5.6mbps would represent 1800gb but that is if it is constant sustainable bandwidth consumption. This does not however takes into account any sudden peaks and falls in bandwidth consumption at anytime. |
