To make it worse, I'm paying for a CIR of 2mb & a PIR of 10mb, however on average I'm doing .7mb constantly with small bursts to maximum of 2.5mb (very rarely). The price of ~$4 per GB is if I was to use the 2mb circuit 24/7 * 31 days and the fact that I can't actually get speeds of my CIR most of the time is my issue. People have mentioned moving DC's or bandwidth providers, however who on the shore can provide cheap layer2 to sky tower; plus how do I get out of a 2year contract I signed about 2 months prior to the issues?
SLA breaches are normally the perfect way out of a contract... Finding another DC is another story all together, however if you're really unhappy with your current provider I'm sure you'll find a way. There's a few providers offering L2 and L3 services around the north shore so it shouldn't be too hard. Ranting about your provider here won't generally fix things. Using the list to get ideas on alternative locations and bandwidth would be far more productive :). Cheers, Jonny.
