With Verizon announcing profits on its FIOS service, AT and T announcing faster speeds on dsl then the cable companies scrabbling to increase download speeds to keep pace I have noticed that the cost per MB of download bandwidth is WAY outpacing the cost of our upload bandwidth, where a 100 MB pipe used to be just fine , is now painfully show to hang a server on. Unfortunately although costs are dropping at data centers a little they are in no way dropping to the extent needed to be able to offer the higher bandwidth that is becoming the expected norm for speed hungry consumers. Have other people noticed this and are data centers offering better rates especially for adult hosting or is it just time to tighten our belts. ?
