      They have some big customers.
      "floridaT" from candidhosting posts on this BBS. His/her ICQ # is 100535057.

      Where on their web site did you see $150/Mbps ?

          Sometimes their banner rotates on the GFY screen - but I couldn't find the offer on their website either

              well, I think you all missed the point - was that a sarcasm Lens ? 150$ per Megabyte ?
              Seems a bit higher than everywhere. I pay 2$ per 1 Gigabyte.

              well, maybe I got it wrong after all.

                    Smartypants - $150 per megabyte would be $150,000 per gigabyte transfer a month ... cough... but $150 bet Mbit transfer is a pretty good price...

                      I don't believe so.
                      For example, in our Dallas facility, we have lines from Qwest, Level3, UUNET, Exodus and a few others, it doesn't make us a reseller. It just means that we get bandwidth from these companies and provide services that they don't.

                          $150 a meg = $150 a megabit in my book.

                          I got it off the banner. It looks like a great deal!

                                  150 a mb/s seems VERY cheap to me. I have purchased bandwidth in the past from servenet
                                  for 220 a mb/s (capped), but i was also consuming 75 mb/s a month.

                                      Please contact me on ICQ. I'm sure we have something to meet your needs (but a little higher than $150/meg). (am I going to get shot for this post?)

                                      It's odd that they bought ad space and created an ad for something that they do not even mention on the web site that ad points to.

                                      $150/Mbps seems too good to be true, but it really depends on the billing method and minimum required commitment.
                                      Does anyone look down here?

                                        750 is not all that high for burstable bandwidth. When you see people talking about paying 150-300 range it is for capped, meaning that their is no possible way to exceed bw that has been paid for. A perfect example of why you would buy it like this would be for tgp gallery posting on a domain.

                                          $150/Mbps is very good, and I am sure they have certain terms that you need to meet to get it.

                                          Dynamichosting offered me $140/Mbps for a project I was talking to them about. The pricing on their site is great, and this is a great program I am thinking about running.

                                          I think prices are falling, and if you are a big customer you can definitely get great numbers.

                                            it still seems expensive the only reason I have stayed there was its supposed to be on a good level3 backbone and in the past its always had 99.9% uptime. and i believe you get what you pay for. lately it really seems to be sucking bad,if I burst over 2.0mbps the server is starting to crash and tech support has no fucking clue on what they are doing or how to fix it! they say they will put me on another supposedly new server with dual 800P3's for no extra charge.

                                            but still wanting to find a new host the only thing is I have already tried moving twice and ended up right back at the same host because the other two i tried ended up sucking so bad. how do i know who i can trust? I really dont care if I save money by moving I just want fast speeds and support that knows what they are doing, and are able to set me up with all the fancy new junk thats out there. lol

                                            my current package is
                                            Plll 800Mhz
                                            512MB RAM
                                            1 MBPS
                                            1,000 a month

                                              I just seen that candid banner, it says "as low as $150 per MB" so thats probly if you are going to be using 100MBPS you could get that price.

                                              anyone want to split it? lol

                                                  Their is a minimum floor obviously on that price. It is to attract the bigger bandwidth user large programs and content providers. Which there are several using large amounts that pay too much for what they use. Just because you don't use large amounts of bandwidth doesn't mean we still won't give you the best price. If anyone would like more info ICQ me I will clarify.

                                                    That's exactly it.. I asked them about it, and it took the senior sales rep some time to figure out what I was talking about, but he eventually said it was for 100mbps/day sustained.

                                                                            thats right $100...for burning 25 gigs total in a month, that was in ummm 00'

                                                                            before that...jesus, you should have seen the prices in 98

                                                                            anyways

                                                                                          The downside to bandwidth prices dropping like a rock is that now it's uber cheap to give away a shitload of porn movies.
                                                                                          When bandwidth was $150 a meg it was hard to find a members area that had downloadable movies...forget about free sites.

                                                                                          Now tube sites give away full reality episodes for a few cents in bandwidth to make money with dating ads. Pretty sick.

                                                                                          So true. There was a much higher barrier to entry back then as well.

                                                                                          There were no bannerless free hosts other than Revshare Hosting.

                                                                                          Well, that's not true... Terra.es was the movie host of choice back then. Haha
