Burst.net - Looks great except..
Burst.net is highly regarded right? I find most of their features great. There's just this small problem of bandwidth. I need 10-15 Gb, and probably more as I grow. Is there an equally good host that offers more bandwidth?
I'm also advertising with BurstMedia so i thought why not go burst all the way
Thanks

1. What size package plan were you interested in?
2. How much bandwidth do you "really" expect to use/need?
3. Considering that you feel that you will grow, how much do you want to pay per extra GB of bandwidth over #2 above?
We should be able to work something out with you....
We don't like loosing business

Malu,
Take Sean's offer seriously - He means what he says. He told me he would meet or beat our best deal and he kept true to that. When your site gets large and/or gets alot of traffic like us you have to find a quality site to host you. I honestly believe that Burstnet is exactly that place. (That is why we are there!)

I gave Sean permission to post as the topic was directed at his company.
Had it been a general question about hosting some of the posts below would have been inapropriate.

Hi. I am reselling hosting for BurstNET, and Sean did provide me with a reseller plan that allowed me to resell custom plans, with 10 GB of bandwidth.

BTW: The $30 plan is now $25 for TWF visitors. Just mention the webmaster forums during signup

No offense, but I thought everyone was finished blatantly promoting their services.

I'm going to close this discussion because it is getting off topic and it is not about what the original poster asked for. Please do not advertise your business. When someone asks for a certain company, DO NOT post a message saying about your company which is a reseller for that company. Contact the person by email and not this forum. This guy asked for opinions about this company, no other company. If you have a comment about that company, please feel free to post it, but do not talk about any other company. That isn't what he asked for. You may contact the person by any other means if you have a suggest of another company.
Thanks for your time.

Ok, I'm sorry... However, Malu asked for a similar service, and that is what we provided- we resell BurstNET hosting, and do have a few added benefits. After a while I figured it might be perceived the way that you did, so I tried to delete the post. However, only admins/moderators have that option.

After reading through this post, I think Brian was well within his rights to make his post, as was Matt. I am not going to do anything about it - I will leave it up to Curtis. But as I see it, the initial post from Malu was asking a question related to BurstNET and both Matt and Brian's posts offered their answer/experience.
I don't think this is a sales board so I would hope that BurstNET would keep all further posts like the above contained to e-mail so that TWF does not become a sales board. Other than that, I think this discussion is on the right track.

I was looking at the Unix Mega account. I'm currently looking for a host for my existing domain. I'm with Jumpline now and they offer only 5 Gb bandwidth, and the site is constantly using 6-8 Gb of bandwidth. I don't have any large file/image archives on it, it just get a lot of traffic. I need a little more bandwidth, so I can "afford" bringing up more content. Where things stand now, I'm even reluctant to add a few images because of the traffic they would cause.
10 Gb should be enough for now. And should I need more in the future I'm not a stranger to moving to a dedicated server. So the hosting company I go with should also be able to offer dedicated servers.
I also need the web space(~200Mb). Most of it would be used for a site, which mirrors about 20 large files.
