Absolute Cheapest Bandwidth? - GoFuckYourself.com

Mutt · 06-03-2003, 10:26 PM

what's the absolute cheapest bandwidth deal you've heard of or know somebody is getting? Per megabit. Quality bandwidth, not shit, and of course we're talking big volume.

$100/megabit? lower?

you get what you pay for

quiet · 06-03-2003, 10:44 PM

just use lots and lots of bandwidth, and you can get very good deals

i'm happy with cogent and i have 300 megabits for a lot less than $100 each....i have 100 megabits i'm looking to sell right now too, trust me we've been with them for over 2 years and they're quite reliable.

http://www.isprime.com can and WILL match AND beat any price you get anywhere else.

Ask them for a quote.

I'll second that. Isprime has been pretty aggressive with their pricing lately. Webair has as well.

That's about the size of it. I'm paying under $50/megabit for quality bandwidth. I never have congestion or downtime problems.

Im at 30/mbit (Nlayer mix without cogent) - im using around 40mbit.
Price is even incl 2 servers with apc.

But then again, I just sold my own host, so I buy at wholesaleprices.

Bucho!

it all depends on how much you use,

volume equals discount

Mutt · 06-03-2003, 11:12 PM

i remember when a T1 was $4,500 /month

Cogent sucks according to everybody, this isn't to get the absolute cheapest bandwidth, Tier 1 bandwidth I'm talking about. Tho to be honest i dunno what Tier 2 bandwidth is and how much worse it is.

Mutt · 06-03-2003, 11:13 PM

yes, volume, i included that in the original post. enough volume for discounting.

The price per megabit isn't the only issue to look at, it can be very misleading.

How you're billed is just as important if not more important. The price for 95th percentile, average, or a capped line will all be different, just make sure you're comparing apples to apples when shopping price.
