Burstable bandwidth
Some companies use a steady amount of bandwidth
most of the time, but experience regular, or occasional surges of
traffic that far exceed their average.
Rather than paying for the bandwidth needed to
handle peak traffic demand, the cost-effective answer is Burstable
Bandwidth.
This allows you the extra capacity on a
pay-as-you-go basis. You commit to a minimum base level of
bandwidth, and your inbound or outbound traffic can ‘burst’ up to
four times the base level, up to a maximum of 1Gb.
If the monthly base bandwidth level is not
exceeded, you pay only the fixed monthly charge. If you do go over
your limit, you are charged for 95% of your peak use. This allows
unusual or irregular peaks in demand without incurring the full
cost of those peaks all year round.
