For dedicated users, Try this:
http://www.rackshack.net/services/

They promised 300gig transfer for only $99.00. Really? Here is the question. IF they only charge $99.00 for 300 gig data transfer, why are they charging $3.50 per extra gig?

They SHOULD be charging $0.33 per extra gig, OR, at premium, $0.50 per extra gig. Right?

I did not say this is a dirty trick but how many people actually consume 300 gig? If you did, rackshack would have already found a reason to "kick you off" their network.

IF, anyone currently using them and almost reach 300 gig, please reply. If yes, I have several servers ready to shift!! :blush:

I need all your comments.

I'm kind of confused..

I may be totally talking about the WRONG thing but

I believe that $99 isnt for the bandwidth? are you breaking it down and getting $0.33??? I dont think thats what they were trying todo anyway

I must tell you that almost every provider over-subscribe their services, including the phone company! For the most part, if users do not use all 300Gb, they will make your share of the $$. Did you know that calling card "resellers" buy 1000 minutes from the phone carriers, but they print and sell 4 times or 4000 minutes of calling cards? How do they do that? Simple, ask how many ppl actually use their phone cards to the last 30 seconds? Most ppl throw away their card with 1 or 2 minutes left. And some ppl buy the card, used once, and lost it...etc. You get the point.
