Unmetered bandwidth?

I find the hosts that offer unmetered don't stay too long (as they are using it to get quick clients), and if they do provide the service it is quite poor.

Unmetered has it's place but there aren't many people that can deliver.

You really have to pay a lot more (more than the hardware) for a really good quality dedicated connection.
 
also for the math -- 1 mb/Sec over a month = 220GB data transfer (more or less) at95th percentile billing

so when you see like 1Tb of traffic it usually works out to about 5Mb/Sec per month

for those interesting in crunching rough numbers back and forth.

most co location price in mb/sec and then shared and managed hosting in GB transfers
 
If this is your marketing scheme is to attract potential clients then go for it, just because you are advertising unmetered 1Mbps does not mean its the only thing you sell, kind of like a lost leader, I say go for it.
 
I personally avoid new hosts that offer unmetered plans as I've read so many bad things about similar ones that vanished after a few months as they couldn't really offer what they were claiming. I don't seem to be alone on this either based on what I've seen on other forums as well but at the same time, it can also attract customers so it works both ways. If you're looking for unmetered for your own personal use, be sure to find some reviews before spending some money but if you plan to sell it to others, just make sure that you'll be able to give them what they paid for.
 
I think its just that people like to see unmetered rather than x amount. It looks like they are getting more when really they probably are not.
