Hmm, there seem to be a number of syntax errors highlighted when viewing the source code. If I was inviting people to view the source, I would probably want it to be clean.
The only actual error in there is the 'anchor' attribute (should be 'name'), the rest is just warnings for self-closing <br/> tags and unencoded ampersands. Not that bad, considering it's still using an HTML 4 doctype.
5 gigs on a 10G port. $5000 one time setup for the 10G port. $0.65/mbps on the commit, $1.15/mbps on overage. That's my cost, so i guess I'm losing a tiny bit on my time, setup fees and equipment, but right now, I just want someone to split some of the monthlies with me. I really, really want that 10G port, though, as at those overages, I can oversubscribe my own commit, and if I oversubscribe too aggressively or one of my customers grows unexpectedly, just paying the overages won't be that big of a deal.
Bandwidth gets cheaper all the time, and I've been pestering them forever. I actually haven't inked that deal, and probably won't if nobody takes me up on it; I really only need about a gigabit, and I can get $1/Mbps bandwidth all day long. I have to decide by Tuesday or so. So far? nobody else seems interested, which tells me this isn't all that unusual of a deal. One guy I asked went off and is now getting his own line from Cogent.
Oh, also note, Cogent just wants the 5g commit from me. If I'm willing to pay the setup fees $2500 for a 1g port, $5000 for a 10G port) they will let me have 1G ports at that price; I just need a lot of 'em.
Turns out, though, selling bandwidth is harder than I thought.
So if I understand that correctly, the reason other providers seem to provide a lot more bandwidth per subscriber dollar (ex. my Linode has 200G transfer/month at $19.95) is most of their customers probably don't push the pipe into an overage so they're basically overselling the bandwidth?
p.s. I just noticed your $20 plan provides double the RAM and 4gb more disk than my Linode... i'll do a little more research but I might just switch since I don't get anywhere near that bandwidth cap.
if you notice, my current xen setups have a pathetic bandwidth cap right now... which will change shortly, (after some network upgrades on my part. I don't want to say you can use a lot more bandwidth until you can do so without causing problems.) but I certainly have no room to criticise anyone else for having low bandwidth allocations.
but in a very real sense? for customers doing non-pornographic and legal things? bandwidth is in a real sense close to free, and most customers don't need much. Look for 'penny a gigabyte' overage charges from more competitive hosts soon, and, well, 'unlimited' these days often closer to the real thing than it used to be.
