Hello,

There is nothing wrong with EasyNET bandwidth :)

The cheapest you can get is :

£499/mbit - Multihomed ( select 2 carriers from following )

XO/Level3/UUNET/GlobalCrossing/SprintLink/AOLTW/C&W

ClaraNET/ EasyNET / BT / TeleWest / NTL / NetKonect / NewNET / TeliaUK

Thats in Telehouse :) :)

You could get a 10Mbit Ethernet Pipe , unmetered but not 1:1 for under £4000


OutSide London :

£1000 + /mo for DS1

Hiya,

For what its worth we will be offering multihomed bandwidth between claranet and easynet for £300 per mb per month, this will be available in the Redbus centres initially, and in telehouse, telecity etc in the coming months.

If you want any more info let me know.

You will never get US prices on UK bandwidth. However you can get 'Cheap UK' prices. I think what was meant, he is looking for a cheap option in comparison to main stream UK providers, not in comparison to US providers.

That's not to say you can't get good bandwidth prices though. £300 / Mbit isn't hard to come by.

Hiya Matt,

Prices are coming down all the time, although £300 for 1mbit is still competitive, discounts of course are available for larger purchases.

You could try Host Europe (www.dedicated-servers.co.uk), ive been using them for about a year now to host my quake server & hosting biz. the raq4's start at £75 a month, and the basic linux servers at £99 a month (100mbit connection, 10gb b/w free, 2p per mb after that). They also do cheap(ish) co-lo. Not the cheapest for bandwidth but they have a good service. You could also try uk2.net for cheap Cobalt Raq's.
