Hi. I have a hosting business and a prospect client of mine has just asked me for a plan with unlimited bandwidth?

Does this kind of plan exists?

Thanks,

MJA

Sure it exists.

Is it possible to provide, however? No.

Plenty of hosts advertise unlimited plans, so they do exist.

Unlimited does and does not exist, some providers bring it into existance, but in reality, it does not exist. and no it's not a dream, it's a fantasy =).

hehe, you guys work for the same company and don't agree on if it exists or not. ;)

Their are companies that offer this but it is not physically possible therefore the companies are lieing to their customers...

If you make a plan dont say unlimited bandwidth.
Say Unmeterd bandwidth.

It's basicly saying you can have as much bandwidth as you want as long as it's left in the server.

"Unlimited" plans always have limitations, usually found in the "Terms of service". So it's limited unlimited which is a contradiction.

No. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. Any host offering this has a catch in the TOS or will have very slow speeds.

Yes, There is no such thing as Unlimited, Because you do infact have to draw the line at some point. But there is in fact unmetered bw, Maybe this is what he is referring too?

I don't think we need yet another "unlimited" thread.

mja8 do a search by thread for unlimited :)
