How much bandwidth ?
 

okie., i am shopping for new dedicated sever , please dont spam your link.

i have few queries.

1) does it makes any difference of uplink port of 1GBPS if my bandwidth plan is 100 MBPS unmetered ?


2) how much bandwidth can pull on 100 mbps uplink port having 100mbps unmetered connection.
i guess its 33 tb , i read somewhere.

3) how much bandwidth can pull on 1 GBPS uplink port having 100mbps unmetered connection.


i am looking for fast site so i am gonna get cdn too for static files. so the server will be only for php and database.

thanks for your time.

that looks pretty complicated.

If you're on a 100 Mbps unmetered connection, it's never going to exceed 100 Mbps even if you're on a gig port. It will be capped at 100 Mbps.

Also, a gig port is more about capacity than speed. Given two comparable switches (ie, same software, same packet per second rating, etc) a gig port will not be any faster than a 100 meg port, it will just allow more bandwidth (provided it isn't capped)

-- Bill

100Mbps unmetered is about 30 TB/month
1Gbps unmetered is about 300 TB/month

Those are maximum values...
Achieving those is totally different story and depends on too may factors...

If you do not have bigger files (downloads, video/audio streaming etc) 100Mbps is probably fine, but if you do then 1Gbps line is prefered since you can peak out of 100Mbps and users with faster connections can get those big files quicker without "blocking the line" to other visitors.

If you want to push much bandwidth - you also need powerful hardware and well optimized software.

This .

And this is what i was looking for.

this clears my query.

so first get 100 mbps then check how much bandwidth i am using then get a gig port and get that much bandwidth plan instead of 100 mbps unmetered. so more users are satisfied and less waiting.

I own a file hosting service and we push about 22TB on a 100mbps connection, or something in that area.

how come ?

1. you cant really have 100mbps unmetered with a 1 gig port either your port is capped at 100 or not. what you could have is 100mbps bandwith included on a 1 gig port then pay overage if you go over 100mbps

2. whoever told you 33tb is an idiot there is no way you can push that much unless you want your site to be slow and shitty. 15-20tb on a 100mbps port is what most people will do without problems.

3. the question makes no sense go back to #1 answer.

if your going to use a cdn for images/videos its doubtful you will ever need more then a 100mbps port unless your site gets millions of hits a day.

thnx alot man really help me

Thanks a lot .
