Also raise a ticket to get details on the server you will be hosted on so that you can ping and test them with a test IP and a file download link will help you determine downlloadd speeds.Also ask them about thier backup policies.Remember most of the so called reliable hosting providers have a reachable phone no. and live support 24x7. Most of the times these so called Unlimited B/W Providers Throttle bandwidth.... so ask them on connectivity to you server like 10mbps / 100mbps etc. Also checkout if the company is reliable and has been in operation, read reviews etc. Remember a Fly by Night operation by script kiddie somewhere can cost you loads of trouble like downtimes, lost backups, stolen data etc. Hope that helps.
