The Big Brightbox Bandwidth Bonanza (up to 220% more!) 8 Dec 08

We’re very pleased to announce a substantial upgrade to bandwidth allowances on all Brightbox hosting plans from today. Here are the increases…

  • Brightbox 256: was 50GB now 100GB/month (100% more!)
  • Brightbox 512: was 75GB now 200GB/month (167% more!)
  • Brightbox 1GB: was 150GB now 400GB/month (167% more!)
  • Brightbox 2GB: was 250GB now 800GB/month (220% more!)

There are a few reasons for making these increases:

  1. Our bandwidth costs per customer have decreased as we’ve grown, due to economies of scale
  2. We’ve taken on a new bandwidth supplier for our new racks which has, again, provided significant cost savings (whilst providing increased network capacity and failover ability!)
  3. Previous bandwidth allowances didn’t grow inline with RAM, which we think they should (and now do) 

Of course, this applies to both new and existing customers. Enjoy!
