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 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.
What is the difference between 100Mb/s unmetered and 100Mb/s fair-share?I'd rather use a service which offers a fair-share on gigabit than fight over 100Mbps with 50 other people.
Well, I haven't heard this for quite some time. It always makes me laugh.Gbit with limited bandwidth. For fast backups and restores to/from offsite servers. And peaks. I like peaks. And the moon.
