You think so? As far as I can tell, when I am talking to your servers, the slowest part is the 24 Mbps of your servers, not the 100 Mbps of my desktop. When you get colo, make sure you get a picture of the layout of your hosters network, including mrtg graphs of the bandwidth utilization on the relevant upstreams. It takes the guessing out of the game. > Now, however, I think they are bullsh*tting you about dropping to 10Mb > to keep people from going over their bandwidth usage.

And what exactly is the difference between a port configured at 10 Mbps and a port shaped at 10% of 100 Mbps? Except that the latter will have packetloss on UDP because shaping on UDP is a no-go?
