The cost of bandwidth
My ISP, KGB Internet Solutions sent me a bill today - it's usually pretty cheap at $12 US per month. However, this month, they charged me an additional $28 for 3 gigs of extra bandwidth - Yikes! I'd better quit posting things for downloads eh? Should I make attempts to reduce my traffic. Nahh, I'll pass - I'll just buy more bandwidth! Keep the hits coming - I feel the love! I think I'll upgrade to their Silver package ($20 US) which has 5 GB of monthly transfer. It looks like it comes with a 100MB connection, which I thought I already had - but maybe not. I hope not, it'd be sweet to upgrade to a better package and get faster speeds too.
I also found this Servlet ISP list at servlets.com. Looks like KGB Internet got a 4.9 out of 5, and Dave's ISP (Kattare) got a 4.8 - obviously both great choices.
Getting this bill was quite humorous since Dave send me an e-mail this morning. In his e-mail, he suggested that I add a donate (via PayPal) button to my site. Good idea, but I don't think anyone would use it, and I hate to put off my readers. I'm thinking of donating to Dave for his great product, and also to FreeRoller for its great content.
