In my opinion, kool pages seems like the best bet since you're looking for unlimited bandwidth but the banner ads would kinda put me off if I were you. You could try proper comfy but "unlimited" is actually 2.7 GB/day if you read the fine print. They also threaten to kick you out if you use too much. Haven't actually tried any of them myself. I'm using FR&T (www.frandt.com) at the moment, but they've got a 1GB/month cap. And terrible server uptime. It's been up for all of 5 minutes in the past 2 weeks. But I hope that helps you.

Unlimited is impossible. Just is. Any host that offers it is clearly playing a market ploy on you.

The would tell you it's unmetered but actually they have an upper limit for you and if you exceed it, they'll either charge you or take down your site, because they need to pay for the extra bandwidth too... |

why would anyone need unlimited bandwidth? There is always a limited number of users going to your site so there has to be some upper limit for bandwidth requirements. Unless you are running a warez download site where you are providing DVD games... then I might see the need for unlimited bandwidth. But, you also have to figure that if you are using that much bandwidth, you will require a dedicated server which is big bucks. No way it can be free.

Yeah, the market ploy choetry refers to is called overselling. The admin, OpaQue has an 'article' about it here somewhere. The tactic involves telling you that you recieve unlimited bandwidth, however you really get (for example) 10 gigs a month. Which they feel, will not be used by ANYONE. If you're providing a download site, i suggest you simply own your own ftp server. Which will be alot less hassle, and cost (in the long run) and have people download from there. Downloading via the internet is fine and dandy, but not cost effective for the host/owner. Even the paid once, like choetry said, oversell if they said they had unlimited bandwidth. The bandwidth is similar (to dumb it down, no offense) to the internet connection at your house, I have 1.5 mbps of 'bandwidth' per-se. And there's no way I can download/upload at a speed faster than that, seeing as that's my cap. Your web-hosting provider has 'alot' of bandwidth, but they don't have an unlimited speed connection, if you catch my drift. I know that's not a completely accurate description of bandwidth, but it's the best way I know to explain. Tha Blk Panda A.K.A Bandwidth Man... (But my friends refuse to call me that...) lol PEACE |

No matter what anyone says there is no unlimited bandwidth. I think you are better off with limited bandwidth and a good hosting account than a unlimited account where your host kicks you out due to too much usage. I think OpaQue can give you a pretty good idea on unlimited bandwidth.
