Re: BS said by openbox9:said by wentlanc:Please describe in some logical detail, and in a fashion that can be compared against the business class service offering of any ISP, WHY this person's internet connection should be a business class connection. To avoid the caps? If envoid  really transfers "gobs" of data, then s/he might enjoy a business account and the ability to transfer as much as the connection allows. said by wentlanc:There is in fact NOTHING about a business class account that is different than a residential account with the exception of service level, and advanced features. I beg to differ. A DS1 or DS3 circuit brings additional advantages compared to a DSL or cable connection. The business account does not differentiate how much data can be transferred. Please provide some proof that shows otherwise.
A T1 or DS3 circuit is not a DSL or cable connection, so I fail to see how you could differ. That is not a business grade account, that's private line service. You are comparing apples to antelopes.

Maineville, OH | DSL and Cable connections are be definition a circuit. What you may have meant, but failed to mention, is a dedicated service, or private line service. A tremendous waste of his money. And BTW, some T1 services are merely throttled DSL connections because they are cheaper for the carrier to provide.

Maineville, OH | Because he does not need dedicated bandwidth. That is the advantage of dedicated service over a shared service like DSL or Cable.

kudos:1 | Since I like the metric system, yes they are. So if envoid transfers 500 Megagobs per month, does s/he require a dedicated connection? |

Maineville, OH | 1 megagibbles per second = 321.013651 gigagobs per month (assuming that we are talking in a single direction)
Sound like too much to expect from your 20/2 connection, which is capable of transferring up to 6.5 teragobs in a month?
So what you are saying is that ~6% of the capacity that you are purchasing is too much usage??
REALLY?!
What percentage of the bandwidth that we purchase would you LIKE for us to be able to get?
