How Much Is 100 Mbps - 95th Percentile Bandwidth
Jan 1, 2009
100mbps can be rather vague at first so I will now try breaking 100mbps, - my question will be near the bottom.
Ive used a conversion calculator to draw this up.
8192 Mbit (Megabits) = 1 GB (GigaByte)
100 Mb (Megabits) = 0.01220703125 (GigaBytes)
So, to reach 1 GB it will take just under 1 min 22 seconds at a rate of 100mbps.
8192 Mbit / 100 Mbit = 81.92 seconds which is 1 min 21.92 seconds.
1 min 21.92 seconds = 1 GB.
My question:
As i am more familiar dealing with Gb's more so than Mbits i have a few questions which i am not so sure about .....

Just curious about what kind of pricing people have been able to get when going for 95th percentile billing, and what kind of quantities?
For example, currently we are paying $44/Mbps for a quantity of 250Mbps, so $11k/month for roughly 100TB of transfer.
Does that seem like a really high price?

I just had a quick question, I have been using dedicated servers for a long time now, and I was just looking to host one of my own 1U servers that I have been using at home, now I had a simple question, but it seems to confuse me on what exactly do I pay at the end of the month.
I have read about the 95th percentile billing, and paying for 1Mbps.
I usually had 1000GB with my servers, simple, easy.
All I need to know is if I get 1Mbps, can I not go over that 1Mbps while backing up files, or hosting a game server? or is it that I have a certain amount of bandwidth because this is really confusing me.

I have a question about 95th percentile billing. Say I have a 6mbit commit. That means I should be getting 2000GB/month. I calculated that if I burst 100mbit until I get 2000GB then do no bandwidth for the rest of the month, I would get charged for 100mbit of commit, is this correct?
Calculations
2000000MB * 8 = 16000000 mbits / 100mbit = 160000 seconds / 60 = 2667 mins / 60 = 44.4
So 44.4 hours of 100mbit equals 2000GB.
Now lets say they take a snapshot every 5 mins.
44.4 hours * 60mins = 2666 / 5 mins per snapshot = 533 snapshots
Now lets find the total number of snapshots in a month.
30 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes / 5 minutes per snapshot = 8640 snapshots
Now we find 95th percentile
8640 * .95 = 8208
8640 - 8208 = 432
So 432 snapshots will be dismissed as burst, but I will have 533 snapshots at 100mbit (as calculated above).

Is it possible to have a 40Mbps 95th percentile, but only push 3TB in a month?
I know 40Mbps=~12,000GB, that's why it doesn't make sense.

Basically provider offers 2000gb bandwidth.
However, at the end of the month they don't look at the total X GB's transfered, they measure it up with 95th percentile.
I know there's a formula involved, but maybe someone can give me some insight on why 95th is for, and the formula of course would help

On the 95th percentile model, I recall reading bursting not calculated for 36 hrs in this model.
In our application, for now, we will only be uploading to the colocation 6 days a week, on a 10 meg upstream - averaging anywhere from 2 hrs nightly to Saturday ....real small upload.
When I look at 95th percentile, I am looking at it that we would be billed at 9Mbps if we were to utilize this billing method as opposed to purchased transit.
some light on the math & or the *36 hr* burstable bandwidth ?

Why do seemingly most companies do 95th percentile billing based on a 5 minute polling interval?
Do you think there would be any complaints about basing 95th percentile billing on a 1 minute polling interval?

I've been looking around for hosts with atleast 3mbps dedicated uplink. A shared port but with still a decently fast connection would be good too(incase you tried hosting there and the connection was good than tell me about it).
I tried netrackservers.com so far and they claimed to have 100mbps connection or something like that but it was extremely slow.

I run a small cluster (5+) of servers and would like to move them behind a dedicated switch with my own dedicated bandwidth. I expect my bandwidth usage to be around 20 Mbps, measured at 95 percentile (greater of incoming or outgoing bandwidth). I have been quoted a price by my supplier but finding it rather high I wanted to ask users here what should be an average/reasonable cost for 1 mbps, assuming the servers are managed, the bandwidth is multi-tiered and the service is good.

to put online some file servers that will handle a lot of downloads. These file servers are non mission critical and the network design allows for significant amounts of scheduled downtime.
Large hosting companies normally pay for their bandwidth based on peak usage or 95th percentile. In both cases there are many hours everyday where they are paying for much more capacity than they are using. Another way of looking at is that using additional bandwidth, during these specific off-peak hours, would result in an additional cost close to zero.
I'd like to buy this off-peak only bandwidth at low prices. I'm looking for about 150,000 GB/month but I will consider offers for smaller and larger numbers.

i finally ordered my first dedicated server -previously i had a vps. I ordered at theplanet.com an unmetered 10 mbps - dedicated server but i am now confused, about how much bandwidth 10 mbps really represent?
10 mbps = 3.300 gigas?
20 mbps = means how many gigas?
and the 100 mbps = means how many gigas?
I have a alexa 12.000 site with adult videos that is getting more and more traffic, thats why i decided to get unmetered but stupidly i thought 10 mbps was a lot of more than only 3.3 teras : ( so 20 and 100 mbps means how many gigas?
I am going to pay at ThePlanet for this 10 mbps unmetered connection $200 plus $ 109 for the server pentium 4 512 ram.

I got a Linux VPS from a hosting company, highly rated for their support on this forum. During the pre-sales, I asked what type of connection speed is provided on the VPS, and I was told 100 Mbps. That was a month ago.
To reconfirm, I just asked again from a live sales guy about connection speed and he suggested same 100 Mbps.
This time, however the answer was not "direct":
***********
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'xxxxx'
xxxxx: Hello, my name is xxxxx. Thank you for contacting yyyyy yyy! To whom am I speaking with and how may I assist you?
you: Hi Quick question about the VPS
you: what is the connection speed on the VPS servers
xxxxx: The VPS have 100Mbps NICs. So upto 100Mbps
you: great - thanks.
you: have a good day
xxxxx: You too. Thanks
***********
I am pretty sure the original sales rep did not qualify this "upto 100 Mbps".
I have created a support ticket, but I am expecting them to respond that "100 Mbps is shared on VPS, and that's why you may not be seeing that".
I will wait for the response, but am mad that I am only seeing 10 Mbps.
Is this type of sales practice normal for VPS sellers with good reputation on this board?

A lot of dedicated servers offer options of 10 mbps or 100 mbps link.
What does that really mean?
Does it mean I get the 100mbps connection all to myself so I can send out data at 100mbps? Or am I sharing that 100mbps link with others but I could burs to 100mbps on occasions?
Also some advertise "unmetered" 10 or 100 mbps. Again does that mean anything?
What about "dedicated" 10 /100 mbps? How is that different?

How do you deal with off-site backups on a colo machine billed at 2 Mbps 95 percentile?
Moreover, do you do any httpd throttling so a few spikes don't really hurt you on the 95% billing method?

which should I get and would I notice anything at all in terms of speed?
my server may have reasonable traffic every month. I mean, it will be used for FTP but also for hosting exchange and also a couple of websites. Sure, I know best practice is to seperate exchange etc... etc... but for some reasons I cannot do this at all.
so will i really notice any difference if I get 100MBPS and if so, how much?

I'm not a HE representative in anyway, that's why this isn't at the offer forum, but it seems HE is wanting to increase the number of ASNs that advertise v6 address space through them.
This offer is limited to a single gigE, you won't buy more at that price
"Specials Run BGP+IPv6+IPv4 and get $5/Mbps!"
[url]
I'm quoting a representative:
Quote:
IPv6 and IPv4 Full Gige AS Special (1000 Mbps) $5,000/month, no setup fee (For customers with their own AS and *both* IPv4 and IPv6 address space.
In order to get this special rate they must configure and run IPv6 BGP over the connection.)
Customer must run IPv6 and announce their own IPv6 address space to Hurricane via BGP to get this pricing, otherwise the price for the Gigabit Ethernet port is $(sic)/month.
In order to take advantage of the AS special, the customer must have already had their AS number for at least 3 months prior to when they order.
This means that if they don't already have an AS number they can't qualify by getting one just to take advantage of our special.
This is only valid at some of our locations.
but this is just info not an offer so I won't name the representative in anyway.
I don't know which are the locations,

I have contacted a data center about colocating a server and I am lost on the data conversion. I want to reproduce a website that is pushing 1500gb per month. The problem is I dont understand bandwidth that well. How many real world gb is a 2mbps connection.
And how many mbps would it take to get to 1500gb per month? They want to sell me 1000gb for $50 (yes its a budget host) and charge $0.50 per GB over. Which would be like $250 so I would be paying $300 a month total. Which is not a good deal in my book.
I know 2mbps is not going to add up to 1000gb transfer I am just trying to get a idea.

When most providers sell you bandwidth for 1000GB, then it is usually 500 in / 500 out.
When providers sell 1MBPS then that averages out to 324GB.
When a provider charges by the MBPS is that totaling both the in and out together?

if anyone can suggest a couple reputable companies based in Canada, that offer a dedicated server with 100 mbps unmetered bandwidth. Budget is ideally around 1500.
(I posted a while back about 60TB/month, and got some great replies, that was a different project)

I am working with one of the new DCs that we deal with to negotiate some colo pricing and setups. They are not huge on colo, in fact they do very little of it. Hard to believe out of about 1200 servers in their DC, their colo section will not even fill 2 to 3 racks.
They do not even have a setup to price based on per Mbps, I'm sure they know about where they need to be if they dig into it, but they want me to work up a proposal based on what I need (they are working hard to work with me and keep our business).
Their network is fine, nothing outstanding but plenty strong for our needs.
They use mostly Time Warner and Level 3. I think I can even setup with them to provide my own rack, which I prefer to do since it would keep only our servers in the rack.
My question is, from those who have plenty experience on different levels at different Mbps pricing, what is average and reasonable considering those 2 carriers? If I provide a rack, they will provide power, UPS, etc. Aside from that, I need advice on what to expect on the pricing of the bandwidth.
I may also end up using my own Cisco switch in the rack, I haven't cleared that up yet.
If I start off @ 10 Mbps in the rack, and work up, about where should this be on BW pricing?

I am on a dedicated server right now and I am getting ready to go colo. I will like to know what I am using now for Mbps. Is there a program I can install on my dedicated server now that will measure this for me and let me know? I want to know what plan I need to purchase at my colo site.

I have a dedicated server with Dual Xeon, 2 GB RAM, SATA Raid 0 and 10 mpbs port. When i checked from WHM i see, my RAM is never more than 20% used. I have a forum (phpBB) and few blogs which gets somewhere around 30,000 visits per day (forum + blog total visitors).
Now the problem is sometimes my site takes pretty much time to load despite memory load is not more than 20%?
Now if i add another site with even 1000 visits per day, the other sites seems to be highly affected.
Will my site performance improve if i upgraded to 100mbps port?

I recently purchased a new Dedi server, and got 100 MBPS Uplink. Now, I'm uploading 16GB size of files into this server, and I have a suspicious feeling that this upload speed is not what they told me. For the very 1st day, I opened a ticket and they said that they upgraded it to 100 mbps. I saw this speed was faster immediately. On 2nd day, it went down to around same slow speed before. Since then, I kept opening a new ticket and they said it was done, or sometimes I am under DDos attack..? What? I don't even have the site up yet! How come there is DDos attack?
Anyway, today I was told that I'm getting billed for this 100 mbps uplink, because it's a new service. What a crazy thing going on here... I am so tired of this ticket game and just don't understand why they don't commit what they told me initially.
Can anyone please tell me how I can verify and prove that I am having this 100 MBPS Uplink speed? The only thing I can tell with my eyes is that I can see those FTP upload progress bar. When it's very fast to upload one file, I assume that I have right speed.
But is there any tool or command that I can execute on the server shell, and tell them what I get as a proof?

I have 4 VMs running on a VMWare ESXi 4.0 server and it was running fine until yesterday when suddenly the network started consuming up to 100 mbps and making everything slow.
I have checked through vSphere and I dont see any VM consuming that much, it only show that the host is using that much.
I am attaching the picture from vSphere.
