Do you prefer a Gbit VPS with limited Bandwidth or a 100Mbit unmetered VPS?

I'd rather use a service which offers a fair-share on gigabit than fight over 100Mbps with 50 other people.

On a VPS 1gbps with 1TB is enough, That's being said if you have the bandwidth maybe offer both?

You do not write about how many customers have to share the link. 500 vps on 1 Gbit or 10 vps on 100 Mbit?

I once had a 10TB/mon Gbit vps on 2host.

I ran the vps in full speed (torrenting in full speed) and could only consume less than 1TB/month.

I can imagine if you have too much bandwidth it will result in poor network speed if the provider cannot afford it.
Torrenting isn't really a fair test of how much bandwidth can be used. The demand isn't always there. For example, I sometimes run transmission-daemon on a 1Gb/s line that is capped to 1TB of data transfer a month and I'll only average around 30Mb/s despite seeding only the most popular torrents from TPB.

I'd rather use a service which offers a fair-share on gigabit than fight over 100Mbps with 50 other people.
What is the difference between 100Mb/s unmetered and 100Mb/s fair-share?

For me I'd prefer a capped connection and even then I prefer a setup such as VMs capped to 100Mb/s on a 1Gb/s node so that no single client is able to consume the entire connection.

why not offer a choice. as depending what your using it for depends which you would choose.100mbit can be slow if you have say a file hosting site using the same connection.I would choose the 100mbit if the speed was poor i would cancel and move to another host.

Oh... the classic discussion of quality vs quantity.

I would choose the quality... aka the gbit capped connection.

Gbit with limit cap, always.  Well unless you offer 100TB a month and taunt me to use it.
