    There is no such thing as unlimited, maybe you can get a shared 100mbps server, but how much you can use really depends on your provider.

    Yep I agree with wisdomtool, there is no such thing as unlimited but there is unmetered bandwidth such as 10Mb, 20Mb, 50Mb, 100Mb and so on. Each 10Mbit has around 3TB, if you are seriously require more than you need a higher bandwidth connection. If you have limited budget then you can always go for the unmetered shared bandwidth.

    Suggestions as:

    www.softlayer.com

    i would go with fdc servers for a high bandwidth site like yours to save money, there network's bandwidth is low quality however so it's not really suited for video streaming.

    where did you see a 100mb dedicated connection for that price ? it should at least be twice that.

    actually there is, a cousin of mine from UK got a dedicated server from 1and1, 1and1.co.uk
    see the chart here - http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/ServerRoot
    it's unlimited. too bad, for 1and1.com which caters worldwide customer, the bandwidth that they offer is limited.

    You will never get unlimited bandwidth. Just get a very high bandwidth package and add bandwidth as required.

    I agree with everyone who's said unlimited bandwidth. It just doesn't happen

    Unmetered yes (with caveats) unlimited a definite No No, more of an advertising gimmick than any other.

    Unlimited bandwidth is just a blatant oversell of services they don't have.
