Just the greedy ones. You can get a dedicated server hosted for $70 with a 10mbps dedicated line. That's because their bandwidth providers don't charge by how much data is transferred. They are charged by what type of connection they have.

The funny thing is there's no talk of an unlimited plan at all. I'm guessing that's because it's not just about p2p but also stopping sites like hulu and netflex taking money from them(TW). I live in Austin,TX so it looks like I'll have to call TW soon and see if they have any unlimited business plans. There's no way I can do with 40gigs a month and I don't use p2p.

Oh knock it off already. I am so sick of this shit by people that have no freaking idea what they are talking about. A data center is a single point and bandwidth is easy to pipe into it. You don't have to build/maintain/upgrade the optical networks over distance with a data center because it's all in one place...

ahh, fuck it. I'm tired of arguing with people.

Says the guy with 40k post, do you even have a life? And what the hell are you talking about anyway? I didn't say anything that would disagree with your post.

HA.

Trite punchline but good execution.

Anyway, they're all greedy ones. And most dedicated servers charge for bandwidth use - though they generally have a more reasonable tiering structure.
