Hosting question about bandwidth
 

If a plan is "unmetered", does that mean that there should be no overage charges? Referring to mbps.

Correct. You would be limited to the transfer rate of the plan, 10 MBPS is a common unmetered plan. This assumes the host follows common definitions for unmetered.

you are usally capped at the unmetered plan so 10mbps, if you have a burst, it wont be able to handle the high loads if its over 10mbps

unmetered means it will be capped - thus no overages, and you are free to use however much transfer (GB's) you can from that amount of capped bandwidth (Mbps).

burstable means you can go above your commit, and you could be subject to overages based off the industry standard of 95th percentile.

Don't forget guys, that bandwidth (Megabits, Mbps) is a CAPACITY amount. Your "usage" is actually TRANSFER (GB, Gigabytes) over that capacity (Mbps).

Thanks for the info.
