December 1, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web hosting provider RackForce (rackforce.com) announced on Wednesday that it has added a dedicated 3Mbps unmetered bandwidth option for dedicated services, in response to increasing bandwidth demands on hosting and content providers.

The new 3Mbps option, says RackForce, will fit in among the company's existing 1.5Mbps, 5Mbps and 10Mbps unmetered bandwidth options, filling a gap the company says had become apparent.
"We have had many clients who have outgrown the 1.5Mbps unmetered plan but were not quite ready for the 5Mbps" says Brian Fry, VP of sales at RackForce. "The new 3Mbps option will fill an important gap in our client's natural growth and progression, and is very affordable at only $75 per month. Best of all, there'll be no surprises on their bandwidth bill at the end of the month."
According to the company, the unmetered bandwidth model has always been a part of RackForce's strategy, providing customers with the predictability of a fixed monthly cost, along with the ability to scale quickly and accommodate growth.
"The challenge I see with bandwidth," says Craig Skelton, RackForce network manager, "is much of the time you don't need a lot. But it's those peak times where traffic spikes and when most e-business is conducted that you need the headroom. If your bandwidth connection becomes saturated during one of these peaks, your Website or online service essentially becomes inaccessible. Not a very pleasant experience at perhaps your most valuable time."
