Bandwidth Math?! 10mbps 95% = ???
 

My math sucks. So can someone help me understand how

1000 Gigs transfer a month compares to 10mbps billed at 95%?

My small brain hurts.

not sure it depends 95% means the top 5% is knocked out so if you spike for more than 5% of the time its gonna bump you quite a lot right

okay, so If I have a low traffic site that gets an occasional traffic spike (press hit, etc.), the 95% could get expensive, I'd guess.

I get lost in that as well. But it seems that lots of hosts are selling something that most people dont understand, and they dont make sure that you do.

1000 gigs doesn't compare to 10mbs any way you slice it.

1mb = 320gb

So

10mb = 3200gb roughly.

If you factor in the 5% spike that could work out to more than 4000gb if you are on an uncapped connection.

Hal yo do this...

there is Fiber cable running under pacific ocean , tap into yo . I did it here. I dug in my backyard and tapped into Level 3 backboone... MASSIVE BW!!!!!

I tried that...and now all my neighbors are complaining that they have no cable. (actually...when i was a kid, I saw a snake in the grass while visiting my grandparents... I summoned all my courage and attacked it with the hedge clippers. And then saw that it was a cable, not a snake. And, yes, the neighbors suddenly complained about no cable.)

PERFECT!

And of course, it all comes full circle, to webair.... home of our new server!!
