Hello,

I know host are all about having great pings, network speeds, ect... but do you think there are people who would rather pay for very little and get a ton of cheap bandwidth (cogent here we come hehe) than pay the same price and get little bandwidth? I am trying to think of a dedicated server market to go after. What do you suggest? Thanks, Kyle

Good for backups etc... but it still needs a certain amount of reliability ;)

There isn't much of a market for crappy bandwidth no matter what the price. There is a market for 1000GB servers at a 20 cents per GB price point.

20 cents is a hard margin to find, costs me a bit over 50 cents per GB for quality bandwidth (Qwest/GBLX/Timewarner)

If you can get me crappy bandwidth, as in poor peering and pings, but good speeds, I would buy a ton of it for data distrib.
As would a lot of people as long as they didnt need it for latency bases apps.

Not that kind of quality. I am thinking multi-homed Yipes, Cogent, Williams, HE, etc. For apps that aren't very latency senstive these work as well as some of the more expensive providers.
