* Fast, Redundant Bandwidth

We offer premium 100Mbps burstable connectivity via with numerous IP Transit and Peering
agreements worldwide. This translates to incredibly fast access time, with redundant connections to guarantee accessibility.

Bandwidth is measured in Megabits per second, on the industry standard 95th Percentile. The top 5% of all traffic spikes are thrown out, with the remaining 95% transfer used to calculate the average Mbps for the month. 1Mbps is roughly equal to 328 Gigabytes of data transferred over the course of one month. Depending on the traffic patterns of the web sites you host, the 95th Percentile reporting may be slightly higher or lower than your server's actual bandwidth usage.
