Whose bandwidth is good?
 

So, how do you rate the various bandwidth providers? Cogent, Verio, etc. Rank them as "Very Best", "Good", "Not bad", "Fair-- not mission criticle", and "Craptacular".

Best in price - cogent
Best in quality - verio

period

Best in price - terra.es
Best in quality - AOL

:1orglaugh

you only get 50mb of space with AOL!

:BangBang: Best in price - cogent
:thumbsup Best in quality - verio

Best in price - Cogent
Best in quality - Exodus / Cable & Wireless

What Adultbouncer use?

hell i've had no problems with cogent, even on a rackshack box.. even though cogent and rackshack both have wavy reputations, neither have fucked with me so far. i'm looking at a cogent 100mbit feed for $1000 myself :)

uunet/internap is probably very high on the quality side. but very spendy as well.

i'd put verio as a medium quality. maybe medium-to-high.

Exodus/Cable and Wireless obviously ;)

Hit me up on ICQ: 166048805 on good prices for Verio pipes.

Anyone know where I can get a dedicated server for under $1,200/month. I need it to handle 500-700 GB/month in bandwith. Thanks.

icq me on 149389211

Yeah, sure Stu. I got just what you need for just $1,100.00. Contact me on ICQ 145654363.

I just happened to have been looking at my host's dedicated page today...

http://www.sinhost.com/dedicated.html

600 Gigs = $795
1000 Gigs = $995

No setup, just anout unlimited everything, Verio badnwidth, great and dedicated support... I've been happy with them paying more than average for my 50 Gigs a month, I am sure you'd be pleased as punch with their dedicated plans.

well for $750 you can get 300Gb bandwith

No no no! Stu, you are new here so don't be fooled by all of these places offering what you need for under $1000. They are no good. Scam artists! Reach out to me soon so I can take care of you really nicely! Our fast service will make sure you get as much of our pipe as you can stand as cheaply as humanly possible!

We also offer special discounts for cash payments too.

Come get some good pipe!

Great thread! Have been wanting to know this for some time myself.

Now that we've established the good and bad providers can you give specifics as to why one is better than the other?

Where does williams rank?

I would have to say the best i have seen is

Sprint Best in Routing Failures
Verizon Best in Locality

We've seen what, four providers? What about the rest... Let's assume quality is inverse to low-price, for a bit... What's the ranking from best quality on down?

Stu, hit me up on ICQ @ 25285313 or IRC Phil21@EFnet if you do that sorta thing.

I'm out of Minnesota as well, and happen to do hosting. I'd love to talk to you.

peace,
