Re: All that money yet a 400 GB cap said by Matt:I don't deal with "lower-priced providers" as I believe I stated earlier in the thread. If a data center doesn't have at least 3 Tier-1 connections plus multiple GigE links to public peering points, the bandwidth you're buying is oversold. Like OVH for example and their '7Gbps' network?

IP multihomed network is passing through 3 independent transit providers,
multiple peering through peering points in Paris, London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam,
total bandwidth of network 120Gbps
They need to fix that total bandwidth though it's quite a bit higher than that now, silly OVH.

Anyway, point is that you're paying a lot for your bandwidth, ISPs won't be paying anywhere near that much. If I can purchase the quantities of bandwidth I can from OVH as a single user I can imagine Shaw and its' millions of customers would be getting bandwidth for less.
ISPs don't care about quality bandwidth for their residential services anyway, business maybe, residential pfft. |
