Bandwidth
There are two options for bandwidth: Dedicated or Inclusive Allowance.
Fixed bandwidth
- 5Mbit fixed speed bandwidth for just £50 per month!
- Add more dedicated bandwidth in multiples of 5Mbit for the same price.
- Unlimited throughput.
- Reporting available.
- Gigabit presentation.
- Dedicated bandwidth is ideal if you need unlimited capacity at a certain speed, or if you need guaranteed capacity.
Inclusive Allowance bandwidth
- 1TB allowance at up to 100Mbit
- 2TB allowance at up to 100Mbit
- 3TB allowance at up to 100Mbit
Usually Inclusive Allowances are given to Single Server customers only. However if you
feel you would benefit from an allowance rather than fixed speed bandwidth, contact us for a quote.
IP Addresses
- We give you 4 public IP addresses per quarter rack.
- Upgrade to 8 IP's for just £5 per month.
- Extra IP addresses are available in blocks of 8 for just £10 per month.
If you require more than 64 IP Addresses this may require further information and justification to
RIPE. We will advise you if this is the case.
