For a site that says unlimited bandwith within reason would you assume that 6Gb was out of reason.

My host 10kwebhosting.com has put a cap on my bandwith usage 6Gb its an outrage!

It says unlimited but in small print it says that high usage will result in a limit being set but 6Gb is pretty crap i can go and buy hosts which are cheaper dont pretend to have unlimited and offer 10Gb.

just posting to say if any of you thinking of going with this company with a site that uses lots of bandwith think twice!

I realise 1Gb is a large amount of space however its the idea that they said unlimited space.

Depends what you have uploaded, a few decent sized movies and the space disappears (I'm upto 475mb I think), plus the time it takes to upload a gb, not a 5 minute job.

1GB space isn't too bad. Still, I should moan again if you run out of bandwidth.

After a complaining letter they have increased it to 10Gb. Which i still think is crap. If im hitting 6Gb in the middle of the month on school holidays what will i be hitting by the end of the month in school time?

I have also found now that i can only have 1Gb webspace :( when it also claimed to be unlimited.

At my hosting company we generally won't complain about monthly transfer until we exceed our overall bandwidth allocated by ASUK.

As of yet though, I haven't seen anyone be refused the bandwidth they request, unless they're hosting torrents etc.

£20 a year from 10kwebhosting is a fair price, I have to admit, but I don't see why a user should be expected to crawl into the small print to see what they're actually buying.

It's unlimited for some people. Just not others.

PLus they didn't put it in their T&C either. It just said you get a high allowance which could mean anything!

So in future, you should always email them and get an exact figure before they screw you a week after setting your account up!

so it's not unlimited....

You pays you money and makes your choice, just make sure you read the small print and ask the right questions before paying your money !
