Thread: How much do you pay for bandwidth?

How much do you pay for bandwidth?

I keep forgetting that I have to convert allthough I hear that a lot of UK hosts charge in US dollars and some UK hosts have their servers collocated in the US

This is a UK / European forum, so I think you should at least list the eqivalent prices, not just US Dollars all the time...

You've not got the price we pay on there, but I'm not about to tell customers how much we pay for it either on here, lets just say it's in the middle of two of the options.

Anyone paying $1 per Gb or less, I would ask yourself how good the quality of the bandwidth is and the network its running on and anyone over $5 I'd be asking is it really worth it?

A lot of potential UK customers don't want the hassle of $ prices, they want to know exactly how much in £ is coming out of their bank account. One of the main reason UK hosts use $ is because they have to because most US providers like paypal, dotster and others don't have the flexibility to allow multi-currency billing and the current choice of UK companies being able to provide the same services at the same cost means we don't have an alternative Reply With Quote   4th December 2001 #10 netsolutions I guess it is just hard for me to put in UK currency. I have to go from Can dollars to US dollars to UK dollars. Also I don't have the little UK pound sign thing Chris Blackwell - Echolima Web Services www.echolima.com - Affordable Linux Hosting chris@echolima.com Reply With Quote   4th December 2001 #11 netrg Guest you could use GBP instead of £ or cut and paste one of ours http://finance.yahoo.com/m3?u Straight from canadian to uk or whatever you want Reply With Quote   17th August 2002 #12 edb49 RapidSwitch (part of iomart Group PLC) 4 reviews, 100% positive.

Some of the best networks only charge £0.50 per GByte and less. The key is to not be tricked by expensive hosts claiming their networks are better than the cheaper ones. Some cheap host are indeed bad, but many are the very best in the UK. Neil Reply With Quote   3rd November 2003 #15 Karl KDA Web Services Ltd 2 reviews, 100% positive.
