:cool:
After seeing hostmanias 3Mbps offer, I was just curious if there are other companies that have this practice. I would feel a lot more confident if I had a capped connection than having only so much bandwidth avaiable to me.
I don't see my servers ever going above 2Mbps anyway. Ideas? Places? Prices?

rackshack.net course they have a server with _unmetered_ for like $399 a month 10mbps;

Yeah :bawling:
I know most of the hosts that offer 10Mbps, but I'm more interested in a 1-3Mbps capped connection because that is all the bandwidth I will ever need and I simply can't afford 10Mbps at this time ;)

eServers.biz has 500GB bandwidth burstable, so it's approximately 1.5mbps

I doubt they cap it. That is probably just your tiered pricing. Instead of labeling it 600 GBs of transfer, they call it 2 Megs. So if you look at it this way, many places offer lower limits.
I would ask if it is truly capped at 1 or 2 Megs.

I would go with FDC if I was certain about the stability and consistency of their network ...
In terms of hostmania, well ... that's self-explanatory. I tend not to go with a new company until they have established themselves and there are enough +/- reviews to make a decision.
If eservers.biz would offer me a capped connection, I would go for it. I don't guess it wouldn't hurt, you know ... What's the difference between a burstable 500 gigs and a capped 1-2Mbps guaranteed line? Probably overselling, but bleh :P
Maybe I should post in the offers forum and see if I get any results.

Well, someone has to try them out first. :confused: As said before, when their client base is small, they may dedicate more time to helping your needs.

dedicate more time but they'll have less staff surely? :p

I just don't want to be sitting around waiting for a server like everyone is right now :rolleyes:
Yes, I'm used to the instant setup that Rackshack has, but I don't have a problem waiting 1 week for a server. Though more than that and my customers will start demanding things. I'm pretty patient with my needs, but my customers supercede what I think all the time :o
