Bandwidth Limit Exceeded?

I thought that "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" meant that my elastic pants couldn't stretch any farther!

Sorry about that guys. The past few months our bandwidth usage has gone up rather significantly, and from what I can tell, rather disproportionately to actual forum traffic. I had intended to look deeper into that, but digging through the myriad of statistics and logs that are at my disposal isn't exactly my idea of a good time so I kind of dropped the ball.

The good news is that our current host was offering a deal that more than doubled our allocated bandwidth (plus a few other things), for only a $3 more per month so it will probably be a while before this issue will arise again.

How much and who are you paying for hosting?

My guess is Real Web Host, with their server located in Dallas, TX. It looks like they get colocation from Colo4Dallas.

I don't speculate on pricing, sales guy can usually work a deal beyond the advertised pricing ;)

Oh cool, my network is only 7 hops away. If I moved my tunnel, I could make that 6 hops!

I'm 13 hops. But it does take 5 hops just to get to Orlando Level3 from here. Trace route me at home.thisisnotajoke.com :)
I can really beat all of Real Web Host's upper level plans' price, but not their cheap stuff.

13 hops to you as well.

I could beat the price as well, free is always good, but right now I just have 20M of bandwidth. If I ever get the funds to drop a 1U or 2U box in our pop, I'll be on a fastether connection, but I'm hoping for a gige :)
