Unmetered bandwidth

Unmetered bandwidth means that the server has part or all of a dedicated connection, and we dont make any extra charges (ie. you cannot "overuse" the connection). The sharing ratio is called contention.

Unmetered does not mean infinite however - for example an unmetered 1Mbps connection gives a maximum transfer of roughly 400Gbytes/month.

If you would rather have a burstable connection and pay per GBytes then we also offer metered connections.
