Bandwidth 10Mbps?
Which is better?
If this 10mbps is gonna be shared with possible thousands of other servers or getting a dedicated line of about 512k?

If your talking thousands of servers I would purchase a commit of 512k.
You figure 512kx2 is about a 1M
If each server used about 512K it would run out of bandwidth at around 5 servers. So if there is thousands or even hundreds and the pricing isn't that different order the 512k commit.Axcelx Technologies - James

You should just ask the provider if the 10Mbps is dedicated to you and/or guaranteed to always be fully available.
If not, ask them how many other users share it, and if they have any sort of contention control -- as in, are you guaranteed any certain amount of throughput?Sitelutions: www.sitelutions.com -- Reliable Hosting, Low-Cost Domains, Dynamic DNS

that 10mbps is shared for sure. So I guess it depends on time when it's less busy etc, I usually only get about 20k download speed. It might sound unreal, the the provider says the 10/100Mbps is shared among tons of servers.. I know there are also a number of gaming servers. I personally prefer to with the dedicated 512k.

Not to deviate from the question, but couldn't you just find a company that doesn't make sure share the port?

10Mbps bandwidth for a single 'customer', the isp might charge quite alot lol I would have love that if it wasn't for cost lol.. the 2 sample I stated was comparing between 2 similar cost packages. But maybe I should try find out the cost for a 10Mpbs

I would recommend theplanet.com. They have some great co-location deals and are flexable. Their support is fairly decent, have a superb network, with oustanding bandwidth carriers.

I second that, they have a 2 ring answer by human SLA on their support phone number, now that's just the beginning!
