I think you should look at the simpleCDN thing thats going about - http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1005111

Seems to me 100TB is clamping down on bandwidth abusers even though they freely open their self to such stupid "abuse" by claiming to able to push 100tb month after month on their service...

Christ.

I've heard some horror stories about UK2, but that... I don't see how they can pull a move like that and expect anyone to ever trust them again.

[yonatan]

heh i prefer my game servers on OVH .. .much better ping to the world.
quite sad to see such thing happens ...

[Speedy059]

From seeing what happened to SimpleCDN....I wouldn't touch 100TB unless you are wanting to use it for a gaming server and don't care if you get shutdown randomly....

Who told you that?

a pricey, polished turd.

Sounds about right to me...

[Myatu]

Domestic speeds do suck in this country. It'd be faster delivering a printed e-mail by horse and carriage here.

Nevertheless, 100TB is owned by UK2Group. I wouldn't want to touch that with a 10ft pole. They're the "Apple" of marketing: selling you a pricey, polished turd.

Apparently they are raising prices which is why everything is showing as sold out now but they should be back with the new offers late next week.

I smell fish with that...

They mean they have put everything as "out of stock" because they cant get their hardware delivered and racked within their london "datacenter" because of all this damn snow.

My mail man brought me half a van load this morning, thats the first time within a week i have had a delivery...

I have 60 matx case's on order... So i wonder when they will come, Been waiting the whole of 2 weeks for them now, No doubt their in a lorry somewhere in a lorry park or the likes...

[Andy.]

All sold out in UK.

I wonder who Host#1 is?

[Razakel]

The UK's only good for bandwidth on a commerical scale due to london linx, if you take linx out the question then its nothing...

This applies equally to every country...

Domestic providers in some parts of the U.S are reeling out over 100mbps to house holds and its perfect and its been the norm for year's, Yet the UK is just "playing" with 100mbps at the moment and not really even got it reeled out.

Verizon's FiOS? That's only being rolled out in major areas. BT is rolling out 40/10 VDSL, and starting something of a bandwidth race with Virgin.

So in terms of networks the UK is poor, Even look here for proof http://www.ispreview.co.uk/story/201...broadband.html

Yes, the UK does have a **** network for broadband, admittedly.

[BigMAC]

The UK is very well connected and has great bandwidth. I think it's probably the broadband network that you're thinking of.

And pushing the full 100TB is fine and very much a possibility. If you looked at the 100TB.com threads that pop up on webhostingtalk every so often you'll see plenty of people pushing a full 1Gbit port to the max and using very large amounts of bandwidth.

About the overselling: yes of course they are. But every datacentre in the world oversells bandwidth.

Yet the 100TB brand over in the U.S is based in softlayer which is one of the best datacenters in the world, In terms of connectivity.

I,ll be glad to see how 100TB works out in the UK when VAT is set to increase

Yes i understand everyone is a bandwidth overseller, However theirs overselling and theirs grossy overselling to the point that it nearly becomes "false advertisement"

[NickW]

There's overselling and controlled overselling. If any ISP was to have a guaranteed bandwidth to each customer they'd go out of business. Not every person uses 100% of their bandwidth so it makes more sense to do it that way.

However overselling too much does result in degraded connection speeds =) A little like some of OVH's transit links (which cost a lot of money).

There's overselling and there's overcomitting. They don't offer 100TB on their cloud products because they said they do not have the infrastructure to guarantee it (ie overcomitting) so I'd assume they're only offering this in London because they have the infrastructure.

And yeah they've been running 100TB in the US for a while now so they're going to have a good idea how much bandwidth the average client actually uses and leave some headroom.

I feel to believe that this 100TB rubbish is mass overselling for the UK, The UK has one of the most rubbish network in the WORLD, So how they can push 100TB is beyond me.

I,d like to see someone push the full 100TB.

Anyhow 100TB isnt the only firm offering "100TB" also burstnet.eu is offering 100TB on a 1Gbps Port on their colocation in manchester for £200

Have Fun

Commercial networks are a lot better than broadband networks. The UK has great bandwidth, it's just more expensive than other countries.

Well, no, not really. I think you're thinking of consumer broadband networks...

100TB is owned by UK2, though, so I'd avoid it like the plague.

.... Sold out ....

its crappy you cant get it but by any means the offer is crap

[yonatan]

Since when was

Dual Intel 5504
Dual Quad Core - 2.0GHz 12GB 2 x 500GB 100TB

crap? Granted they're sold out, but it was only $199.

You're getting much more bandwidth at a much higher quality than somewhere like OVH offer.

.... Sold out ....

[Razakel]

It'll certainly be competition for OVH, and appeal to seedboxers where bandwidth is more important than hardware. Will be interesting to see how OVH respond.

Personally, my machine rarely pushes over 300GB in a month...

[NickW]
