Yeah, but Destiny's corporate service is "harang." I wrote their corporate
guy, the charge is 30000 or 40000 a month for one IP and 64K bandwidth.
That's the same charge as for a real leased circuit (although with the
leased circuit you also pay the telco).
Now what with Destiny's bandwidth issues I'd rather get a real leased
circuit to a real ISP like moscom which will ensure that my 64k local
leased circuit will always be saturated.
Furthermore, I dont see why they charge so much for corporate service (and
throttle it to boot) while regular subscribers get nonthrottled, unlimited
service. I mean, ZPdee has the right idea (measure the number of bytes
they download and charge based on that). The latter is a more sustainable
charging scheme. Destiny's scheme is simply braindead.
