Whats the major difference in the dedicated server feild. its obvious that one is more than 1 and there must be some sort of advantage looking at the # 10 to 100. Anyone with a perfect /good explanation.
Thanks in advance

There was just a similar thread...use the search feature :)
i am still trying to fully understand this part now on a 100mbps line how much bandwidth is this line capable of doing unmetered and does the mean 50 up and 50 down or 100 both ways?
also a graph with the following information highest point on the graph below is 5 now this obviously mean for the entire month this server only went as high as 5mbps and a 10mbps line would be suitable for this server.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Well MRTG typically reports 5 minute averages, so it's definately possible your users burst much higher than 5mbps.
MRTG will show a scale dependant on the statistics. If you burst to 7MB or so, the scale will go higher.
The question you are asking is whether a server that is bursting to 5MB would be suitable on a 10MB connection? Absolutely.
Here is the biggest factor -- just because it has a 10MB connection does not mean it isn't shared with 8-30 other 10MB connections coming back through a 100MB connection. So it is all based on the layout of your provider and really just how much bandwidth is accessible by your server.
Assuming your provider has the burst availability(as mentioned in post above), a 100mbps full duplex port allows 12.5Mbytes/sec in BOTH directions at once.Quote:

10Mbps unmetered will allow you to push roughly 3300GB over a one month period. That would be if you maxed out your pipe 24/7.

If you are on 10Mbps line, typically you are not able to burst past 10Mbps. If you were to have a period where you were getting more traffic than 10Mbps will allow you will experience packetloss and latency.
If you have access to your MRTG graphs find the highest point in your traffic stats. If you have not exceeded 10Mbps ever then a 10Mbps line would work perfect for you and you would not have any problems. If you see that you do burst over 10Mbps on occassion then you will experience the problem mentioned above during those times.
