I'm looking for a good deal on 1000 GB of transfer per month (actual or average measurement) in a NOC with fast internet connection and 24/7 emergency technical support (like reboots).

If anyone knows of any web hosts with $1.5 per GB or less please post them here.
If you are a host and can give a good price on at least 1000 GB of transfer per month please email me or post here, please include the co-location charges.

We're in the same situation as energy, but we're looking for a good deal on at least 5000 GB of transfer per month at $1.00 per GB or less.

All of the offers posted in energy's thread fell through, but they were for less bandwidth.

Check your email. We can definitely meet your bandwidth requirement for $1.00 / 1GB with no restrictions on contents.

Hi Marc,

As you know, you will need to make sure that any hosts that gives you a quote can actually meet that demand, by my rough calculations, giving that peak times are often 100% of the traffic of off-peak times, and traffic various without notice, and they are likely to grow, and have other clients they will need to have at least an OC-3 connections or a few DS-3 connections, at this point you are looking at tier 1 and maybe some good tier 2 providers.

Maxim.Net has good prices on bandwidth. Serverhost.com and possibly pwebtech.com. You could also look a neutral colocation solutions (i.e. colo.com and neutral-colo.com). Or alternatively contact some of the Tier 1 providers like UUNET,Exodus,Level3,GlobalFrontier.

Maxim does have good prices but their connections are often terrible.
