100TB on 1gbit or unmetered 366mbps?
So I signed up with a datacenter offering a 100TB deal on a 1gbit line, I am supposed to get to burst up to the full 1gbit line. Datacenter told me that I am bursting at 900mbps sustained for long periods of time and it is saturating the switch/degrading their network. They placed a burst cap on my server without telling me. After I questioned the slow speeds, they increased the burst cap to 366mbps.
So basically I now have an unmetered 366mbps line. I am a little worried about overage so I am not sure if this is a good thing or not. Should I stick with this unmetered 366mbps line or try to have them uncap it?

Your sarcasm is nicely put but inappropriate.
Here's what LeaseWeb said.
does not really have sufficient network capacity to meet current customer requirements
Overselling refers to selling in excess of actual capacity.
Whilst it's a heavy risk with one customer, the risk is greatly spread out over thousands.
Simply put, the host is terrible and OP should seek alternatives.
If alternatives are not available due to price concerns.... then you get what you pay for, OP.

If a website can use whole 1Gbps all the time and 330TB bandwidth per month, it must be a large traffic website like image hosting, file hosting or a really really large-traffic website.
So you'd better to buy dedicated 1Gbps port and bandwidth, do not choose cheap provider but stable one

If you are doing 900Mbps you are eventually doing way more than 100TB.

Not going to name the provider yet unless they do not reasonably resolve this to my satisfaction. I am still mad that they limited the burst limit to 130mbps without notifying me. I am wondering if I do not contact them about the slow speed, would they have just kept the speed at 130mbps forever?
I am supposed to be able to burst to the full 1gbps port, if this is the case, I should be on a dedicated port right? Any truth to what they are saying that their other customers are being affected from my bursting to 900mbps for a couple hours?

That is possible but that can only mean their network has a very, very low capacity or their network planner did a pretty poor job of capacity planning.
Either way, this is not a host you want to stay with, especially the actions they took without informing you.
That speaks volumes about their integrity, or the lack thereof.

IMHO, capping you anything below 366Mbps would be a mistake.
If you wanted to actually use the full 100TB, you'd have to burst that 366Mbps 24/7. Since you want a more averaged usage... you could easily push twice that cap and stay under 100TB/mo.
Your provider is dumb for trying to match someone elses offering without considering wether they can make money at that level or not.Daved @ Lightwave Networking, LLC.

You said you can burst to 1gbit, your provider more or less says you are sustaining close to that for long periods to the point of considering it "sustained". What's the fine print of "burst"? Sounds like you knew you are paying for a burstable shared port and are sustaining an unfair share. Either way, this lacks details of the offering to pass judgement IMO.

They nullrouted my server IP for 24 hours for using too much bandwidth even though I still have 70TB bandwidth remaining. Extremely angry.

If they sold you 100TB on a gigabit port, then they have no right to limit the portspeed, unless you used 100TB that month and did not agree to overusage charges.
