Thanks.
hi, rule of the game, no matter what technology you use, the higher the bandwidth and the lower the latency the better... assuming you have asymmetric dsl (ADSL) of 4mbps downstream and 2mbps upstream... it will outperform a 1.544 mbps T1 symmetric line for *point-to-point* only.. at the end of that point (telco's point).. it is a question if your subscribed bandwith is a shared bandwidth or not... normally telcos give you a cheaper price because your bandwidth is a shared bandwidth to other subscribers... that applies to T1 too... if you want a dedicated bandwidth that what you subscribed going to the internet, then the price is pretty much higher... latency is another factor, even if you have a high bandwidth but have a high latency, it will outperform by a low bandwidth with a low latency... for example a satellite link of 1mbps with 2 seconds latency to reach its end point versus a symmetric dsl (sDSL) of 512kbps with half a second latency... sending a 1 mbits of data... for satellite link.. it took 3 seconds to complete while for sDSL.. it took only 2.5 seconds... assuming the above example you have a good link quality (zero packet loss)... as packet loss is another factor as its affect your throughput due to retransmission... because only bayantel and globe in your area.. another factor to consider is their number of local and international peering links they have.. you ask them if my network segment is advertise to only one link or to multiple links? as this is a web hosting service.. you need to advertise to multiple links so that those web client audience go to the shortest routing path going to your server for better response time... fooler. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
