 | View Full Version : unmetered bandwidth provider kapot 03-14-2003, 09:50 AM Hi, Anyone know other dedicated server hosting provider that have unmetered bandwidth plan? I know only FDCServers.net, any other else? Thanks UH-Matt 03-14-2003, 10:12 AM rackshack do a 10mbit unmetered. eddy2099 03-14-2003, 10:24 AM Nocster has a 10mbit unmetered too. http://www.nocster.com/10mbps.shtml sprintserve 03-14-2003, 10:27 AM The answer is many. Almost anyone can do it for you. But how much is your budget. :) kapot 03-14-2003, 12:02 PM Hmm, yes, that's true ... Well, my budget is about $99 monthly cost :D With this, only FDC can offer ... I think. ReliableServers 03-14-2003, 02:06 PM Originally posted by kapot Hmm, yes, that's true ... Well, my budget is about $99 monthly cost :D With this, only FDC can offer ... I think. Theres your answer then. MarcD 03-14-2003, 02:39 PM $99 10mbs ???? Geesh TheTrance 03-15-2003, 02:29 AM 99 bucks can get you 50-400GB transfer /month on a 100mbit line. For an unlimited 10mbit, you've gotta spend ~300 or more kapot 03-15-2003, 02:33 AM Hehe, I dont ask for "10 mbps" specifically :D I just asked about unmetered bandwidth ... And yes, $99 is not enough for 10 mpbs, I knew that ... FDC offers 4 mbps unmetered for $99, so I asked if there any other company offers like this. ntwaddel 03-15-2003, 02:38 AM whats the difference between a 10mbps unmetered connection and a 100mbps connection and buying 10mbps of bandwidth? :) TheTrance 03-15-2003, 02:40 AM Actually, FDCservers.net offers a 9mbit for $99 per month, not 4mbit. johnallen 03-15-2003, 02:53 AM Lets be realistic. You can get a server with unmetered bandwidth from anywhere. But will the equipment be capable of transfering 200+ gigs? probably not. eddy2099 03-15-2003, 03:12 AM Originally posted by ntwaddel whats the difference between a 10mbps unmetered connection and a 100mbps connection and buying 10mbps of bandwidth? :) Well, actually quite a lot from what I can see. Let's just assume your machine can handle the load of the 10mbps (3164gb) With a 10mbps unmetered connection, if your machine consumes bandwidth at peak 24/7, you can use the total allocation but in reality, there are periods when you might be pushing less than 100% pipe capacity and you will not be able to consume as much bandwidth. No matter how much you try to push you will never exceed that 10mbps. With a 100mbps connection and 10mbps bandwidth, your machine can burst up to 100mbps as and when needed to take in the extra traffic at any point of time. This would make sense when your machine do not experience constant peak bandwidth utilization 24/7 but experience sudden surge at times. Okay, let's assume given a monthly allowance of $300 to do as you will. You can spend it as you like or save when you want. The only condition is that you have to spend all of it by the end of the month. This would probably allow you to save on weekends and spend like crazy on weekends. Or you could save and spend the $300 at one day of the month. That's like the 100mbps connection with the 10mbps bandwidth. On the other side of the unmetered bandwidth, it is like you are given $10 a day for 30 days. If you do not spend the $10 in that day, it will be forfieted. This means that your spending power each day is capped at $10 and nothing more. You could spend less but any leftover cannot be brought forward. ;) eddy2099 03-15-2003, 03:15 AM Originally posted by johnallen Lets be realistic.

Actually with the current hardware configuration in today's context, it is possible to push in somewhere in the region of 1,000 to 2,200 gb a month. There are some with the 10mbps servers are doing actually. Whether it is advisable to do so would be another issue all together. |
