Cheap Bandwidth?
 

Hey Guys, I got approached by this guy about buying his extra bandwidth that he doesn't use, he's got a 100mb pipe.

He's looking for a few ppl to take up some of it, what would you consider a good price for say, 1MBS worth of traffic?

Also, would anyone be interested in coming in?

Thanks!

He really shouldnt have committed to a full 100 meg line:2 cents:
but anyway your question requires more info ie what provider is the BW? and support with it?? will he renew the BW after his current contract is up??

Okay, he tells me it's a tier one provider, so really fast, and he just started this new contract. He already has another 100meg pipe, and thought he needed another. Which he doesn't.

Does 100 bucks for 1mb/s sound good? That's like what? 700MB of transfer traffic right?

1mpbs = 320GB.

Where is the BW terminating at? ( colo facility?, his premesis? )

If you only need 1 mbps then buy a T1 line for your house :2 cents:

In the real world 1Mbps = about 200gb of actual transfer.

The bandwidth is at his colo.

For 100 bucks, it sounds to be a good deal. A T1 into my house would cost way more.

You're just trying to sell bandwidth for your company or something you douche.


$100/mbps is a rip off - you cant even tell us who the carriers are, or what the colo facility is.


if anyone wants bandwidth, I'll offer it to them at $60/mbps with internap, mci, level3, nac, savvis, reach and globix in bgp4.

A) First of all, what are you going to be using this bandwidth for?
B) Ask him what providers he has for his 100mbps - if it's cogent, then you're getting ripped off.
C) I can provide you far better pricing on colo/bandwidth - and I can almost guarantee it'll be better bandwidth, as we have 6 major backbone providers.

If you're interested, please contact me via ICQ, or [email protected].

Not mine, I was actually trying to see what the pricing is. Talk about being an asshole. I wouldn't buy from you just for the insult. But thanks for the price, I'm gonna go back to him now and let him know what he has to beat.

:)

It's possible but far from being true across the board.

Did you get your site design from templatemonster?

lol

It's not an unreasonable thread there wasn't any reason for you to jump in here and start spamming your shit. Besides, I'd guess you're just a reseller of someone else yourself.

Cheers,

Brad

Uh, no its not from templatemonster, it cost a couple thousand to have it custom made douchebag.


www.webprosys.com made it - hes worked with ceonex before on contracted projects.


SinEmpire - The average webmaster will not get more than 200GB or so out of 1Mbps.

320GB is the technical equivalent but you wont get that.

*Poke* Public Enemy, what's your ICQ?

ok first things first

I asked if it was done by template monster because it looks like their work and they are notorious for NOT using pictures of real servers on their website - just like yours doesn't use photos of rack mount servers.

If you paid a few thousand you definitely overpaid, you should try Twin Dreams next time.. or perhaps ask those designers to use photos of actual servers.

With regard to the "REAL" usage with 1 megabit on average being 200+- gigs... man, eat this MRTG chart, this client got 327 gigs out on .98/mbit average usage.

Cheers,

Brad

I did say, the *average* webmaster would only get 200gb or so out of it.


It is of course possible to, but with normal traffic and usage patterns itll most likely be 200gb.


And where were we speaking about 1Mbps on average?

http://twindreams.com/display.php

Is that them?

They don't look very good... maybe they're cheap?

Or maybe you were talking about someone else? I went to check it out as I'm *ALWAYS* looking into getting my many sites re-designed lol.

www.twindreams.com ?


BTW those servers on the site were custom 3d made at additional cost.. (the ones in the flash and theres more which you cant see because I disabled the dedicated server order pages)

Thanks everyone for the help and pricing. I got a better deal than I expected. I usually don't deal with tier 1 type of bandwidth, mostly overseas stuff, so the pricing info helped a bunch. :)

dont' have icq, email me please [email protected]

Thanks.

E-mail is on the way, thank you.

FiberNexus -

I can't speak to the samples on their web site but I'm sure if you ICQ sharky he'll show you some nice designs. If I'm not mistaken, they're busy all the time with orders and I wouldn't be surprised if they simply haven't made the time to add more samples to their web site.

Magg -

When someone is talking about the "theoretical" usage on 1 megabit, they would only be talking about on average. Obviously not 95th percentile. Why would you have "special" server renderings done instead of showing clients what you're actually using? That's shady!

Brad

You're a dumbass for trying to use this as a way to promote yourself.

Dude some guy on another board is offering MB/s of bandwidth for $2000 a month (Non Cogent) $100/mbs is not good :(

I think http://www.foundrynap.com/ looks great :thumbsup

Just so you guys dont get conned into crap bandwidth, here are the top leaders of crap bandwidth:


Williams
HE.net
Yipes
Cogent


From worst to not so worst.

Weird, then why does Thehun.net use He.net? I think He.net is better than Cogent :)

Because its cheap :Graucho


They offload almost all, if not all, transit to Wiltel which is pure crap :2 cents:

Hurricane Electric (HE.net) is IMHO, a very respectable provider that doesn't skimp on quality equipment or customer service.

They've always had rock solid bandwidth, delivered over their own nationwide network. They're no internap, but definitely orders of magnitude superior to cogent.

heres from that box you were pinging of mine

$19.90

At least that's what you would pay per meg at Webair for the 10mbs unlimited plan.

OK, now tell me what knowledge you have that you can stand by that statement of utter crap?

You know their Fremont location gets DDOSed daily and has had many downtimes.

Doesnt skimp on quality equipment? What about that 6 hour long(i forget exactly how long) down-time they had only 1 or 2 months ago... not including all the ddos downtimes they have had....

OR the fact that a ton of their IPs are listed in spam databases and HE.net isnt doing anything about it.

What about those high spikes I have highlighted?

Where on the west coast are you?

Arizona/Nevada/Seattle?

Besides the setup fee, that's a pretty good deal :thumbsup

I used to have a rack with HE.net - it's decent, nothing more. Bandwidth is not high quality, yet the service was fairly excellent.

However, the networks listed by Magg are examples of the lower end bandwidth providers.

Check out some of the prices on the "high end" bandwidth providers. What a difference. lol.

This is a funny thread!

So Magg why don't you tell everyone exactly about your relationship with C H O O P A? Making it look like you actually own a network infrastructure isn't honest.

Oh, and by the way, I'll be sure to call Switch and Data tomorrow to let you know that you have photos of the inside of the colo - that's a violation of the terms of service. Oh, that's right, you don't actually have an agreement with any of the bandwidth carriers or the facility because you're just a reseller.

:winkwink:

amateurs.

Cheers,

Brad

Well everyone is really just a reseller of the major networks. There's only a handful of big guys that really own fiber.

Tell me where I told anyone I owned a network infrastructure?
Even on our site, I specify we buy bandwidth from an upstream provider - no where do I say that we have contracts direct with the carriers.

Although we do operate our own internal and edge infrastructure - including our own switches and routers.

Go ahead and call Switch and Data considering that isnt even the datacenter those pictures are from. (smartass)

Secondly, those pictures are direct from an executive sales rep at the company with which the datacenter we're in is.

(I wont tell you the name of the datacenter company considering your a complete jerk off)


You're trying to take jabs at me when I have done nothing to provoke you.

Not to mention, you keep trying to insinuate things out of things I never said or using words to manipulate the situation.

How sleazy! Do you think this kind of attitude helps gain customers?


Jeez.

Time to separate you boys.

*Stands in-between them*

lol.

Seriously though Sin, enough taking shots at Magg. And let?s just walk away from the thread. :thumbsup

well if anyone is interested here are my pings to thehun and jupiterhosting.

The mistake about thinking you were in S&D I apologize about, it was my understanding that was where your upstream c h o o p a is.

I find your site to be misleading, you just admitted that the datacenter pictures aren't of your cage or cabinets. Being honest is as much about what you don't say as what you do say.

When you are responsible for people's livelihoods as a host, I think it is important to give them as much information as possible so that they can make an informed decision. So yes, when you put yourself out there as a top shelf host on a public forum like this I'm likely to point out some of the many things that differentiate your company from larger hosts such as the advertisers on this board.

Otherwise, I wish you both luck. The hosting market is large and if your clients are satisfied at the end of the day that is all that matters.

Cheers,

Brad

Brad -

You'll notice I never claim that the pictures are anything of our own equipment.

The only comments I make about them on the site are, "Datacenter Pictures".

Anyways, I thank you for the encourangement.
We are only one ladder step lower than you are as hosting providers, and we do provide a feature added experience. One that you wouldnt receive going straight to choo pa so I believe the experience and hosting with us is a differant one. :glugglug
