[ Converted text/html to text/plain ] I would agree that 100% utilization of one's bandwidth would equal the upper limit of your service. 100% of 1.5 Mb is 1.5 Mb.
The reason why I started this discussion was that in trouble shooting some problems with my ISP they gave me the impression that this logic was incorrect. I was wondering if this was a common term used in bandwidth/internet discussions which it appears to NOT be. So it seems to be that my ISP doesn't speak the same language as the rest of us, which does not seem far fetched. -mm >From: "[YG]Sharza" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: SV: SV: SV: [hlds] ot - bandwidth vs utilization >Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 23:17:22 +0200 > > > I just signed a contract at a datacenter in NJ that offered 1Mbit > > sustained traffic, burstable to 2Mbit.
