A pal of mine is interested in one of their deals.

Their prices look good, almost too good if you see what I mean.

Are they reseller, own their own, own datacentre etc, etc.

I did a traceroute but it didnt tell me much.

Thx.

They are running off there backbone which is one of the largest.

Unlimited Bandwidth Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
Monthly Transfers 1GB 3GB 4GB 5GB 5GB


Thats kind of strange

There's a difference

Bandwidth:
The width of the band / line... (speed)

Transfers:
Traffic... The amount of GBs downloaded

I agree,
Bandwidth is mostly used to express what "Traffic/Transfer" means

Well there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, and they cap there transfer.

Doesnt make much sense.

Correct,

even OC192 has a limit, being OC-192 (DOH!)
[OC-192 eq 10GB/s]

Like I said, they mostly mistake "bandwidth" for traffic

I missed the bandwith/traffic bit, it was the charges for extra bandwith caught my eye $10 - 15 per gig if I remember correctly! :eek:, you'd think they were in the UK!

Thx.
