The following is in response to the above Aerovps post.
Agreed service is important, and a friend of mine does agree that turn around time on a ticket is quick (best in 10 minutes, longest ever was 3 days…). All sites I mentioned though come recommended by users in this forum so I suppose service across the board is commendable. Incidentally, the aerovps and some other sites mentioned have exactly the same webpage templates with only the company name being different (but I guess that doesn’t mean much)
More interesting though is the stance by Aerovps to cap the account (100gig standard option) and consider it a strong point, and comparing it in numerous threads to McDonald’s unlimited coke. Sure unlimited coke at a Disney theme park eventually has a limit on a person, but in digital media unlimited bandwidth is different and is what makes Mweb and other uncapped accounts so popular. After all, haven’t we been waiting years for uncapped accounts like those internationally…? Realistically though, an uncapped internet account on a 4meg line per month is ‘capped’ to an approximate value of 400kps x 60seconds x 60minutes x 24hours x 31days --> whatever value that may mathematically amount to (and this is just the download value, not including uploading). Point being it is a far cry from a 50gig available bandwidth seedbox for your torrents…
And no, 50gig was not a typo! Because the 100gig (numbers just an example, its always going to be half the value at best) bandwidth available to a member is total bandwidth so assuming you don’t share the file while loading it by setting the upload limit to zero (which is rather selfish), the 100gig tally is computed by 50gig going into the box, and then that 50gig going to your computer. I’ve seen it with my friend- but then it is simple maths…
Sometimes quality and quantity are the same: like 10 high quality crisp R10 notes, or a stack of old and used R100 ones… indeed the choice is yours.
This is just friendly debate Aerovps…
