Somebody on a small board is talking big stuff about how his bandwidth bill is over $100,000 a month. Now this isn't a program owner. This is somebody who claims to be pushing hundreds of AVS sites. I just don't see how this is possible...Maybe I'm wrong...but I want to make sure before I respond.....

Maybe he has a SHITLOAD of avs sites.
...or just pays a LOT per mbs.
..and I'm off. -
I pay .50 cents a gig on a dedicated so this fuckewr gotta be pushing someserious BW or he is getting charged like $10/gigComment

Well ya can get it now for 50 cents a gig so I'd say he was burning up the net, no wonder it takes me so long to get Yahoo up..LOLPeaceAlive and kickingComment

its not impossible... likely? no.Comment

this is what he said
---------------------------------------------------------
We happen to do roughly 640,000 GB of data across the network. We're not talking 5 sites, 20 sites, or even 100. We're talking hundreds of sites. At $0.17 per GB, that's $108,800. Our rate isn't always $0.17, but it's usually close for the majority of the network.Comment

I bet he pays a quarter or half that. He wouldnt quote a $108,800 blah blah blah if he used that. He would have said "We spend over $100k a month on bandwidth alone."Originally posted by BVF

There's people who pay $500,000 a month. What's your point ?

what he said.
possible but unlikely. Especially since he describes his operation as mostly being the AVS biz. To rack up that kind of bandwidth bill, you'd need an in house staff of people churning out a helluva lot of AVS sites and generating all that traffic. Anybody driving that much traffic who doesn't have their own paysites is an idiot.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

People like rackshack maybe. End users? Nope.. not these days. Maybe in 98-00 people like Yahoo and Ebay. But these days? No way. Rackshacks network MIGHT cost them around there... and they have a massive network.Comment

Very doubtful.
Why don't you invite him to GFY to fight it out with the pros over here?
Comment

HUNDREDS of avs sites huh?
I have close to 1000 and that cost below 200 $ per month
AVS sites push close to nothing in terms of bandwidth, even with moviesComment

If he does 600,000+ gigs that is about 2 gigabit... Wholesale on the bandwidth might be in the area of $60,000-$80,000 plus servers, management, etc. In some places around the country 2 gigabit from premium providers could easily cost $100,000.

$100,000k / month? He's either pushing in the neighborhood of 2Gbps or he's paying too much."Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

you sure he 'has' a couple of avs sites or does he own an avs network? <font size="2" face="Tahoma"><a href="http://www.18blowjobs.com/webmasters/?640" target="_blank">Get paid $25 per signup</a> listing over <a href="http://galleries.18blowjobs.com/hosted.html" target="_blank">100 free hosted video galleries</a> - <a href="http://www.18blowjobs.com/webmasters/?640" target="_blank">Check it</a> » </font>Comment

Anything's possible. A T3 used to run 45,000$ per month in Canada from UUNet and we were using 2 of em full tilt.. So..Free agentComment

Sounds like bullshit unless he hosts an AVS network with alot of movie content like Adultbouncer or Universalpass.
he needs a 2gbit connection and I bet nobody needs that to push his own sites.
And if you burn that much you won't pay more than 10 cents a gig.Comment

sounds like adultbouncer .. and i dont talk about their webmasters
...Comment

Ask him what his monthly net is. That's all that matters. You will find that most people who are truly successful rarely brag about it or say much if anything about their business unless asked in private.
I bet he is full of shit. Tell him to come over here and post. We'll spank him good. Or ask him for a URL.

Good enough to shoot the shit as anything else...
"hundreds."

It's been said but unless HUGE movie sites giving shit loads away outside of the AVS as well as inside, hundreds of sites aint gonna use more than a few hundred gig.Originally posted by BVF

Wow.. that is a lot of bandwidth...
I know of a "pretty big" sponsor program who are paying about $75.000 a month on bandwidth... but they have some very big sites and they have a lot of movies...
I don't see a 'regular' webmaster pushing that much.Comment

I have "heard" so I dont know (could be BS,for all Iknow) of couple end users using 2Gbit
So if that is the case, I could see it by the time you pay for servers,power,admin etc...Comment

You shouldn't be counting servers or administration as part of your bandwidth bill. Servers are a capital expense and administration is payroll.Originally posted by Moose

BS on the person doing AVS sites and pushing that. I don't even hit .5mbps with I dunno how many avs sites I have. 5,000 - 10,000 I would guess.

Off the top of my head 5x$99 rachshack boxes would give that. Reliableservers do a $400 deal that gives a theoretical 1.6gig a month which equates to $500 for 2gig. I know there's others out there I haven't used/looked into. Plenty of people on this board paying 25c or less a gig. Why would it be hard to find? I'd imagine candid can come very close to 25c or less a gig on large amounts of BW (paid per mbit). Certainly it's no big secret.Originally posted by punkworld

Besides when we're talking about $100k a few hundred bucks difference matters little. The point is still very valid that a few gig isn't gonna cost more than a few k on even premiun BW with an expensive host.Ignorance is never bliss.

Mind you, I'd still say someone with just a few hundred AVS sites is talking more BS than my posts above if he says it costs $100k a month in hosting.Ignorance is never bliss.

People had already said it was POSSIBLE, the question became how PROBABLE it was that a guy running shitloads of "AVS Sites" would be using 2 gigabits....
you're in that industry (hosting).. what do you think the probability is?
My reference to rackshack was to make the point that they are using around 4-5 gbps of bandwidth.. and they have a MASSIVE operation over there built on cheap whored out bandwidth prices (which, for reference, I see as a good thing)
