Re: Bull
I agree some what, but you overlook that if residential customers are getting 100mbps connections then the server having that same connection is not enough.
A server that gets thousands or even millions of hit an hour will need a lot more bandwidth then 100mbps especially if it is a server that is hosting downloads. In that case even a 1GB connection wont be good enough. Hosting companies would have to have multiple GB connections to host multiple servers.
Bandwidth will continue to increase and continue to get cheaper but 1GB of bandwidth is a lot and expensive right now.
Only time will tell, but for now there are very few that will provide the download/upload to utilize this. Hell, I have 3mb dsl right now and most of the downloads I get are in the 150-200k range. Every once in a while I will find a place that I can download around 300k at, but they are few and far between. |
