DataStream has advised that the limits are going to be as follows:
Under 12Gb the performance will be very good but if exceeded the
performance will be reduced. If 20Gb are exceeded the performance will
be like a dialup
(The following comments are purely my opinion)
Yeah right, Datastream have >STM-64, my arse! Get real. I highly doubt
they have even a single STM-16. More like a couple (tops) STM-4s.
Actually, they're Maltacom's lines in any case and Datastream are
limited in their use as the cost of IP connections is so prohibitively
high that ISPs locally are hard pressed to be able to sell services at
any profit. What IP connectivity used by the local ISPs, I suspect, is
nothing approaching even STM-4, perhaps (probably) even not touching STM-1.
12/20GB, where did that come from??
In addition to the above, Datastream could not guarantee any amount of
bandwidth in terms of service availability and as such they will give no
SLAs. 'Service', pfffft!!
