Most colocations charge by sustained bandwidth throughout the month, not in
transfers per month so it may be difficult to get a comparison.  I am paying
485$/month which gets me 6U (2 servers) and a sustained 350kb/sec which
comes out to ummm a lot.  The colocation is at a Level3 facility with dual
OC-192s among other connections.  I think you should renegotiate your deal
with your current ISP or find somone else.  - Russ

Subject: [PHP] Bandwidth?


I know this really isn't a correct list, but I know most of you have
experience in getting hosting, etc and you have been very helpful in my PHP
troubles, so maybe you can help me here, too!  :)

Anyway, my site is currently colocated at a small ISP, that charges as
follows:

$265 - 2U rackspace + 8 GB traffic
+$8 each GB over 8

I just got my invoice for June, totaled at $947.  That's 77 GB over my
alloted 8 GB.  The site is growing and is very popular, so I am not
questioning the bandwidth number, but I am asking about the bandwidth rate.

Is $8/GB too much?  Last I checked most hosting providers charge by how much
continuous bandwidth I use, for instance 512 kbps, 768 kbps, 1.5 mbps, etc.
What kind of numbers can you all give me for comparison?  I want to see if I
am getting ripped off....
