As I said earlier, "I've seen hosting companies that offer a 5 Mbps Internet connection that allows up to 50 GigaBytes per day transfer. " That is marketed for the purpose of interconnecting SAN's. I've seen MANY companies in Baton Rouge use "MetroE" connections from Cox to interconnect data centers across town, and they routinely transfer more than 1 TB of data across the link in a month. I thought that LUS Fiber was intended from the start to be that same type of service. Maybe it is not. That is my original point. I think the most efficient way of saying that is to include in the description of the service the monthly bit limit on it. - ragin_cajun Wed, 22 Sep 2010 14:53:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6954-lus-now-offering-100-mbps-residential-internet#comment-10685 If you are doing storage replication you don't copy the entire contents of your array every day, you only replicate the new/changed data to the remote array. If you have SAN replication set up between two sites and you have more than 8Tb per month of replication traffic then a $199.99 a month plan and the service level agreement you get with it probably isn't the right solution for you. - ITPro Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:13:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6954-lus-now-offering-100-mbps-residential-internet#comment-10666 Doesn't seem like enough for a business customer that wants to replicate data between two sites over the link. If asked, would LUS waive this for a business customer? I've seen hosting companies that offer a 5 Mbps Internet connection that allows up to 50 GigaBytes per day transfer. 50 Gigabytes X 8 bit per byte = 400 Gigabits per day. If one Terabit is 1000 Gigabits, then 8 Terabits is 8,000 Gigabits, so in 20 days that limit would be reached on an LUS link that is 20 times "faster". What if somebody wanted to buy a new storage array, or a new backup appliance, and tried to just copy over a bunch of data instead of having to put it all on tape, driving it over, and copying it off of tape to the new array. They'd exceed this limit. Eventually, somebody's gonna want to do this. Somebody's gonna want to do offsite backup over LUS fiber--I would if I had servers in town. 8 terabits of data is 1 terabyte--it only sounds like alot until somebody connects a SAN to it. - ragin_cajun Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:48:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6954-lus-now-offering-100-mbps-residential-internet#comment-10662 where oh where is this long over due service available? (currently paying $300 a month for 30 gigs :( - roan blackburn Tue, 21 Sep 2010 14:34:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6954-lus-now-offering-100-mbps-residential-internet#comment-10660 Yes, it is important to waste time faster. - Bean There Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:42:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6954-lus-now-offering-100-mbps-residential-internet#comment-10658 The conditions of use of our 100 Mbps service includes a monthly bit cap of 8 terrabits. Of the business customers currently using this service, none of them are anywhere close to reaching this bit cap. - Terry Huval Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:34:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6954-lus-now-offering-100-mbps-residential-internet#comment-10656 I think it's important to include in any description of LUS services the monthly cap on downloaded data. 8 terrabits per month for 100 Mbps Internet business service. Is that the same for the residential service? - ragin_cajun Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:32:23 +0100
