Re: All that money yet a 400 GB cap OVH hasn't updated their natowrk page in awhile. They have like 200 Gbps of transit and peering at this point, if not more. The are the ThePlanet of France.
Coming back to the US, I can get a 10TB server (1 Gbit port) for $200 at 10tb.com. Before you say they have a crappy network, check out the site. THey run on SoftLayer, which has a good network in their WCD and SEA locations and an awesome network in Dallas, where I use them for shared hosting. 2¢ per GB.
I can get a 100 Mbps connection (albeit from Cogent on the internet side) for $3k per month...symmetric on fiber with no caps...in the middle of the Texas hill country. That's $30 per Mbit, or 10¢ per GB when you calculate things out. 400GB on this circuit, with both Cogent and Time Warner Cable (the loop provider) making money, is $40ish per month. If I could get 30 perople paying for $150 internet plans off of this link I could pay for my own wireless infrastructure and give them 20 Mbps symmetric connections with 1TB caps if I wanted...and Shaw has WAY more than 30 customers. |
