10mbit dedicated vrs 100mbit shared?

Hello i am about to buy a server which is offering 10mbit dedicated bw.

is this better than 100mbit shared?


thanks

 

100mbit shared will usually get higher speeds, as long as the line is not saturated.
Keep in mind: unlimited dedicated 10mbit line means 3210 gigabytes/month. So make your maths.

 

hey thanks for the reply, but i am going to get 10mbit dedicated at 1000gig per month.

 

No problem. But the figure I showed you is not a supposition. Indeed, mathematically 10mbit lines can carry upto 3210 GB/mo.

Just my two cents

 

That's not 10mbps dedicated. If it was, you would get about 3300 GB. So possibly you are going to be on a shared 10 mbps

 

hey nikg thanks for the reply.

ohhh i didnt know that, isnt 10mbit dedicated different from 10mbit unmetered?

 

They are both the same. If you have a dedicated line it is not limited, but it can transfer a max. rate of MB per second.

 

Actully it still could be dedicated with only 1000gb, but I agree it sounds a little fishy

 

Yeah, i doubt its dedicated, why but a bandwidth limit on that? How much extra is the 100mbit?

 

100mbit = 32101 gigabytes / month

 

They dont offer 100mbit uprade just one all their packages is just 10mbit - 1000gig per month

To clear the doubts for the topic starter.

10mbit dedicated means they put you on a full 10mbit speed 24/7. Your traffic limit is 1000gb.
100mbit shared means it is on a 100mbit speed, however it is shared with other users. If someone else uses 99mbit speed u will have a few left. But, not all customers are streamers or leechers so most likely the speed will be fine. Still 1000gb datatraffic..

Personally I will not give a recommendation on what to choose, however I would recommend that you ask them a few more questions like "between how many servers is the 100mbit speed shared?".
