Brad

Exactly.

So an account like this would likely have to commit to a certain amount of bandwidth for a period at least parallel with whatever committment the provider has to their upstream.

Unless of course the provider happens to have 400mbits of open and unused pipe laying around.

Most providers could pay for their gigE (or very close to it) with an account like Quiets :]
