Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Unmetered Cogent bandwidth

[pedroivomedeiros]

People say that cogent bandwidth is the cheapest..
So, i want to know any datacenter that offer 10 Mb or 100Mb port unmetered cogent bandwidth.
Do you know any?
It is for an image hosting file service.

[leeware]

what is your budget for 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s?

[GSP-Panel]

take2hosting.com does. There cogent based, but I believe they were adding InterNAP.

[pedroivomedeiros]

I want the lowest price possible.. Because i am starting...

[leeware]

pedrovomedeiros:

If you are just starting then you probably are not sure how much bandwidth you are going to require as your service would have no history. So you could only guess as to how much bandwidth you need correct? Well, that brings us back to the question you haven't answered how much are you looking to spend? Once we have that information, then people can make recommendations on a host that they think will be good for you. One thing you could do if you haven't already is browse through the offers section on the board to see if anything there meets your requirements.

[pedroivomedeiros]

Ok Leeware, thanks.
I will look at the offer section.
But i was looking for cogent bandwidth datacenters (witch people say is cheap)

[VINAX]

Yep, Cogent and HE are cheapest bandwidth providers, but it's not necessary that you much go with them for cheapest prices. I also don't recommend to host on the network that has single Cogent or HE. There are many options to choose from, so just let us know your budget and would you need dedicated or shared bandwidth, then we may able to give you further suggestions.

Cogent bandwidth is not cheapest. There are other carriers that can offer the same or better pricing for bandwidth that is better performance wise and more marketable than Cogent


there are plenty datacenters offering unmetered 10Mbps, 100Mbps , even 1Gbps on these forums. Simply check out the advertisement section

Care to share the others providers that will match cogent?

Thanks

Cogent has good speeds but the reliability is somewhat questionable. As for the price, if you buy enough Level 3 you can get Level 3 for $7/mbps

ThePlanet will provide quotes on unmetered Cogent machines.

[IPv6]

Pretty sure Leeware has high bandwidth cogent servers for cheap.

Not unmetered, but close enough.

1.Originally, I was going to post comments that mirrored VINAX. But he beat me to it. ;-)

2. I agree with the comments of bummer6666.

3. Budway: search the forum for previous comments made by bummer6666 and you will find plenty of justification as well as information on other carriers that are competitive.

4. As for Cogent being the root of all evil, I disagree (but that's another topic.) However, I completely agree that marketing Cogent bandwidth is a significant challenge. It is the equivalent of trying to sell meat that many people believe is no good.
