Have been watching this for a while, somewhere back a mention was made re
part of the problem was the speed and hosting of some sort, plus dynamic
ips...
unless one is hosting a high usage site, 128kb is fine...
a php nuke site, main page about 60k about 300 members, 2000 odd posts, page
hits between 35,000 to 55,000 a month, chews thru 1500 to 2000 meg a month
up and 200 to 300 meg down, a few downloadable documents, Pic gallery, fully
SOEed , top 5 of most search engines, crawled every day by Google, yahoo,
and 1/2 doz others. Site published for over 12 months, even handles extra
hits when Max Newman decides its worth while, a smtp server, running on
no-ip.
Plus a private photo gallery site. plus on line gaming, general surfing of 6
machines, few driver downloads. Bit of remote Admin on some small
office/school servers. Then a private ftp server in case I need some if Im
out...like a gaming squad get together for a weekend in Aussie, and need the
squads custom maps when hiring out a full gaming cafe..This also has a/cs
for my wife, daughter (student) ma-in-law, ( a teacher)
Oh forgot throw a game server in every so often at periods the web server
doesn't get busy and /or limit the up/ down bw usage on the web server to
stop game lag.
With a bit of extra organising, bw limiting, thought, runs well

We DON'T abuse and download huge amounts of legal music, warez, movies, run
kazza progs etc..well none actually. So I chew up 4.5 to 6 gig a month, tops
7,8 gig.
If someone wants to run high scale servers then get a proper host...or cut
the warez downloading. 12 gig a month..on what? well on what that is legit?
Student? documents? 12gig? DOESN'T ADD UP . If its not legit..a person has
no right to complain. I have a daughter who is a student, flatting, I know
very well the situation of a Student flat, the use the bw is put
to.......and the DVD burners.

Don't get me wrong NZ 'BB' IS a joke, inferior and expensive on world stds,
why? Simple a company's Directors are responsible to the share holders
making the highest possible return...that's the way business works, so the
Telecom directors are doing a good job, they are screwing this country for
every penny they can , while they can.

This is a bit off subject, but these 'side' issues seem to creep in
somewhere in every thread.
