Re: Bandwidth?

Most colos charge for a dedicated pipe, 512k, 1mb, etc, per month, not usually by total transfer. However, some do but they usually give you like 30 or 50gb per month. The 8 you are getting is very low. My old host gave us 50gb for $150, so thats $3/gb. :) Thanks! -------------------------------------------- -Alex "Big Al" Behrens E-mail: bigal@3d-unlimited.com Phone: 651-482-8779 Cell: 651-329-4187 Fax: 651-482-1391 ICQ: 3969599 Owner of the 3D-Unlimited Network: http://www.3d-unlimited.com Send News: news@3d-unlimited.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Chadwick, Russell To: 'php-general@lists.php.net' Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 10:19 AM Subject: RE: [PHP] Bandwidth? Most colocations charge by sustained bandwidth throughout the month, not in transfers per month so it may be difficult to get a comparison. I am paying 485$/month which gets me 6U (2 servers) and a sustained 350kb/sec which comes out to ummm a lot. The colocation is at a Level3 facility with dual OC-192s among other connections. I think you should renegotiate your deal with your current ISP or find somone else. - Russ -----Original Message----- From: Shrout, Ryan [mailto:Rshrout@krauss-maffeicorp.com] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 10:12 AM To: 'php-general@lists.php.net' Subject: [PHP] Bandwidth? I know this really isn't a correct list, but I know most of you have experience in getting hosting, etc and you have been very helpful in my PHP troubles, so maybe you can help me here, too! :) Anyway, my site is currently colocated at a small ISP, that charges as follows: $265 - 2U rackspace + 8 GB traffic +$8 each GB over 8 I just got my invoice for June, totaled at $947. That's 77 GB over my alloted 8 GB. The site is growing and is very popular, so I am not questioning the bandwidth number, but I am asking about the bandwidth rate. Is $8/GB too much? Last I checked most hosting providers charge by how much continuous bandwidth I use, for instance 512 kbps, 768 kbps, 1.5 mbps, etc. What kind of numbers can you all give me for comparison? I want to see if I am getting ripped off....
