But anyways, I'm not debating that. It's not what I'm here to ask. My main question is "why are people looking for UNLIMITED bandwidth? Do they really use that much?"
Do enlighten me... [/b]

Is the nature of ppl.. want everything extra even though they do not use it..
Some hosting co still using unlimited cause they know it is a good marketing pitch for newbie/ naive customers.
aodat2 is right.. they have small pipe that is why..they can use - unlimited bandiwth... the fastest you can burst is 4 Mb (for example) while metered servers they can go up to more than 10Mb (if they are on 100Mb port).. If they offer unlimited - customer will use up the allocated bandwith normally 1200GB per servers in a matter of few days..
but of course esp malaysians.. whatever you say.. they still want the cheapest and the unlimited lol
Check out the rule for unlimited providers rules..
you can't as a mirror download /download farm
you can't run music streaming
you can't use as a storage backup?
So what is the use of unlimited bandwith by the way?
If your site become so popular and too many request they'll ask you to move out and get a dedicated.. and not suitable for virtual hosting (cause in order to process the request the server will use up all power and ram and swap in order to serve requests..
Enuff said.. customers.. do you know that they put "unlimited bandwidth cause they know you will not use even 1% percent of you allocated bandwith. If you still want to have the unlimited bandwith for god sake.. USE em all up! and make your money worth!
