| 299068 | 2004-12-02 06:14:00 | I host websites and other services, but have run into a massive barrier (or three). That being my heineously insufficient 2mbit JetStream connection, with only [gasp] 192K upstream speed. The second is the 10GB/month bandwidth cap. This is getting dangerously higher every month, and soon we will be paying $100/month just on bandwidth charges. In one recent month we payed $188 extra for going over the 10GB cap. This is no longer sufficient to cope with demand on the server, so I have decided that we need something more. This is especially true as we are looking (read: ready to) deploy a new server which needs a second IP address, which Telecom will not allow. Orcon currently provides one static IP address - we use NAT for the rest of the PCs, but each server needs a public IP address. I have outlined a list of what we need in terms of internet: At least 2 static IP addresses Approximately 20GB / month Around 5Mbit upstream (Downstream is not as important, 2mbit should suffice but 5mbit or so is much preferred) - Note: the large upstream is because a main use of the connection is serving - we usually have around 25 connections at most times - 35 at peak, 2 or 3 at night. We are happy to provide all our own routing equipment etc. Does ANYONE know where such a connection could be obtained at reasonable prices (must be reliable). Approximate price range is around $300/month or less. I looked at Citylink (no idea of prices so sent an e-mail), but they only do CBD. This is in Brooklyn. Cheers George |

| 299070 | 2004-12-02 06:24:00 | Ah. Well, it's not an option anyway as I don't live close enough to the CBD (I'm in Brooklyn). |

| 299071 | 2004-12-02 06:26:00 | yea it sux its only in the CBD | sam_baird2003 (5464) | ||
| 299072 | 2004-12-02 06:28:00 | It might be more popular if it wasn't? Do you know what the prices are like? You seem to know quite a bit about it... | george12 (7) | ||
| 299073 | 2004-12-02 06:29:00 | what about telstra cable some of thouse plans have 1024kbps upstream not quite what you want but its better than jetstream www.telstraclear.co.nz |

| 299074 | 2004-12-02 06:31:00 | the closest thing i could find to prices are on www2.paradise.net.nz the reson i know so much about it is becuse i realy want it to be my internet conection to bad i live in thames and i cant aford it |

| 299075 | 2004-12-02 06:33:00 | found soem beter prices on here www2.paradise.net.nz what you want dont look cheap thogh $2610.00 |
sam_baird2003 (5464) | ||
| 299076 | 2004-12-02 06:33:00 | Yes, I've looked at that plan. It's 10Mbit downstream = good, but only 1Mbit upstream (better than Jetstream though, but still not really enough). And it's only 10 gigs a month. And only one IP address. Closest yet though :( |

| 299077 | 2004-12-02 06:37:00 | $1270 / mo - for 10 gigs!?!?!?! And people are meant to even consider that why? I see what you mean sam. But one point of interest: 70% of traffic will be National. So one where national B/W is cheaper would be good. |
