I'm using approx. 15,000 megabytes of bandwidth per day, and it could increase to 20,000 or a little over soon.

What host can provide the most *economical* package for this amount of traffic?

As a side note, any *good* hosts out there with dirt cheap bandwidth prices or unlimited?

What should I do? I'm going to exceed my limits soon!

You are using 15 Gigabytes of bandwidth per day? Are these software downloads or streaming media?

No, just graphics and HTML.

just ran some rough numbers,
make sure your uplink is not
10mbps.

i have had clients using cheap
hosts who did not read the fine
print.

the deal was unlimited bandwidth,
*but* the connection was at 10mbps.

they consolidated 10 or so servers
onto *one* of mine and pushed
400+ mbps sustained 24x7 (mpegs)
we have multi 1Gbps uplinks

you need about, if you are bursty,
5mbps.

a T1 works out to 330GB a month
when maxed out 24x7 (in theory)
