Re: FIRST POST
Symmetrical 100Mbps dedicated server for under $100 a month with a 2000GB transfer cap? Sounds good. Where can I get this? (And I'm talking UNMETERED 100Mbps, up to that cap.)
But your point is valid. Bandwidth is, relatively speaking, CHEAP. There's no reason that we can't have 100Mbps symmetrical connections, other than Hollywood and the RIAA lobbying against it for obvious reasons. If they had their way, we'd all be on 300 baud modems yet. |

1 edit | The term unmetered is counterindicated by the per gig bandwidth limit. It is metered, at several terabytes of transfer. The line is still fully burstable to 100mbps though. Most providers offer similar deals on dedicateds. Below is an example from CIhost if your interested in colocation:
One free hour of admin time per month.
3500 GB Transfer Per Month
Free DNS for your machine
8 IPs included
Switched 100Mbps
Physical access control
Private VLAN
Remote Reboot & Power Cycling Device
Standard 4U-19 (7" high x 19" wide) rack space or equipment tray in a secured 144 sq. ft "family" co-location suite inside one of C I Host's data centers. Your machine will be housed inside a SECURED shared co-location area.*
3000W UPS backup (1-110-volt AC plug-in)
Your choice of Dallas, Los Angeles or Chicago!
$99.95 / mon. + $200.00 setup
This is about standard. Im on a plan with another carrier at the moment for 1TB but its better quality bandwidth.
Lets face it, home users would kill for fast bandwidth even if it was cogent. The only multi-tier structure worth persuing is the carrier your traffic goes over. |

| Yeah, I mucked up that one. I should not have even brought up an unmetered 100Mbit because there's nothing in the price range for that level of service.
That $100/mo plan looks nice, but I highly doubt that you have access to anywhere near 100Mbit at any given time. The claims of 'fully burstable' are a joke. (I know.) |

| Thats why im getting 1/3 the bandwidth.
Im paying the 110 for a TB a month and i CAN push and pull at 100mbps from my server. I have tested this with university students downloading or uploading large test files. Different carriers are obvious subject to their own problems, however if you find a good one the ability is there. |
