How much 100Mbps connection cost?

And how many listeners (96Kbps) can it handle?

Thanks

about $5000+

~1000 listeners

$5000 per month?

Who do I contact for that kind of connection?

It can cost as little as $2500-$3000 (Cogent or HE.net in some locations - with streaming media, that bandwidth is just fine). ~500 listeners would only take up 48Mbps. If your hardware could push a full 100Mbps, minus some overhead, you could handle almost 1,000 streams at 96Kbps.

I will use relays, so several servers can handle this

But still, any companies to contact?

u can contact he.net directly and ask them if they still have that special 100mbps for $2500. i think a full rack w/ 15a power is included too. u have 2 use ur own hardware tho or u mite ask them for quote on server rentals as well.

another one i can think of is superb servers. they have a deal in this thread

its a 100mbps server for $2645-$2745. however remember its for ONE server only.

www.cogentco.com

theyll also give you 2 class c's & a 42U rack in there data center for $3000/mo

You can get 100Mbps at Server Matrix for $10 per month extra.

Heh, you wish ;)

That's 100 Mbps shared line (burstable), not 100 Mbps dedicated line. It's the same as putting your server on 100 Mbps switch port instead of 10 Mbps switch port for an extra $10/month. It does not mean you can utilize 100 Mbps 24/7 and only see $10/month extra bill ;)

Get from superbservers. Their 100mbit deal is mad low :) $2645/month, not to mention they have much better quality than cogent.

I think FDC is offering XO at $4,500 for 100mbit.

Hey, besides the HE.net promo I came across the sitelutions.com offer They have a new site up for Colo multiplehost.com though I can't figure out how Russ is doing those colo prices for BW.

For ex. their 100mbps is $2595/mo in Equinix, Ashburn with 1U colo. Don't know what sort of BW are they using to offer those prices...if its Cogent, Aleron or Broadwing.com then yea, its possible, though still a bit of overselling (which is fine if done in a controlled manner :cool: )

Here are their specials http://multiplehost.com/packages.html

Anyone knows what a 100mbit/s connection from a quality bandwidth provider in the US cost?

Hello

If you can host your own server,

$1,000/month from Cogent.

Thanks and God Bless!

depending on the facility you could probably get it for around $70-$80/Mbit

Incorrect - The $1,000 for 100Mbps is only for internet access for places such as businesses and individuals - If you want to use a cogent line to host anything, it's $3,000 for 100Mbps - Check out http://www.cogentsp.com/ipsolutions.html for details.

100Meg from Level3 is 67/meg.

Hello,

I apologize for the misinformation.

Thanks and God Bless!

If you want good quality bandwidth from a good provider, don't go with FDC. If you want 100 mbps XO, don't go to FDC, I'd rather go with a company like Nationhosts. I heard they're in the XO DC now too.

Verio is offering 100M direct about $60/meg

You could probably find it a bit cheaper from a reseller. We usually undercut Verio just a bit, and most other companys are simular.

Hello,

I apologize for my ignorance, but how do you convert from a meg (like 1mbps) to a GB or a MB?

Thanks and God Bless!

GB as in transfer?

You don't. Mbps is a rating of bandwidth, or speed. GB is a rating of transfer or how much information you exchange over a time period.

You can tranfer ~320Gb in a month if you hold 1Mbps solid, but normal use is nothing like that.

Hello,

That is what I was looking for. So for every 1Mbps it is about 320gb? Providing that 1mbps is used to the max all of the time, right?

Thanks and God Bless!

Yes, that is correct :)

1mbit will do about 320GB with its full capacity.

I usually plan for around 200Gig per 1Mbps.

Another consideration is transfer is usually sold with a limited, shared rate or bandwidth. So just because a host offers so much transfer, doesn't mean you are going to be able to sustain a high rate or have a quality connection.

Typically, gigs/transfer is
1: sold on fixed connections, i.e. t1, t3
2: selling small traffic, i.e. under 1Mbps
3: over-suscribe shared connections.

If your looking for unlimited rate, that you can expand and grow and always maintain a high connection quality, your going to end up with 95th. 95th is billing based on the speed of the connection you need most of the time. If you looking for a large, clean network from a quality host, odds are your going to be on 95th.

If you are doing a 100 Mbps commit then you can get good bandwidth anywhere from $50 to $65 per Mbps.
You could probably even do better with a year commit.

This is of course at Equinix where you have a little competition.

If you go to a Datacenter where you only have one bandwidth provider option then you are really limited to any help of the "competition" factor.
