Question about colocrossing colocation

loael123loael123 Member
in Providers

Hello,

I am looking into colocrossing's colocation service, and the uplink is listed as 1gbps but it also says transfer speed is 10mbps. Does this mean that if I was downloading FROM the network, i would be downloading at 1gbps but if I was downloading TO the network it would be 10mbps?

Thank you

    Probably 95th%, so you can use 10Mbps average on the port or else you pay overage.

  • sanvitsanvit Member

    Usually when you contract 1gbps line with 10mbps, it means that the maximum speed you can get is 1gbps, but if the 95percentil bandwidth go over 10mbis, you are charged extra. This is common on South Korea but never knew americans also does this. You might want to contact support to make sure though

    Ask around a lot and I mean almost all colo services here do it as well. I don't mean like Dacentec or Quadranet, I mean the big boys that do direct routing. I do not know if Colocrossing has this @Francisco might know.

    My bit of advice to @loael123 is to stay the hell away from Colocrossing for hosting or colo if you can. Eventually something is going to go terribly terribly wrong in that business and you want no part of it all.

    On the other hand you can go ahead and do what you want, I am not your daddy.

    I’ve been looking into dacentec as well, but I can’t find many recent reviews, and those aren’t for colocation. Would you say they’re a trustworthy company?

    I colo a box with them and have had no problems with them. Support is good and the network is fine for me.

    They do have colo that starts at $40 a month.

    What location are you looking for?
    Also 10Mbps is trash, no providers should be doing anything less than 100Mbps that's the lowest we start colocation plans at which would be 100Mbps on 1Gbps.

    Also be sure to ask about remote hands for reboots and hotswaps etc, some companies charge for these and others offer it free.

  • james50ajames50a Member

    Might want to avoid psych la due to the staff there being inconpitent with the power setup however from what ive heard their dalas/Ashburn locations are good

    Only a small subset of their LA location has been effected by those power/hvac issues.
