Unmetered but speed limited VPS vs. Metered ones

There are some web hosts out there that offer unmetered VPS which have a speed limit instead of a volume limit. For ex: a limit of say 5mbps. Is such hosting suitable for proxy websites or is the speed of the connection going to cause slow loading? Is the connection likely to be a bottle neck?

Do volume packages that have a limit on the amount of bandwidth you can use but not on the speed of your connection result in faster speeds?

For a proxy, I think you are better off with an unmetered VPS which have a speed limit instead of a volume limit. Whilst you will at times have slower loading times, proxy sites often use a lot of bandwidth.

squatter is an unknown quantity at this point
Well, I think speed matters a lot for a proxy site, that's what visitors want when they are looking for proxy services, so why not good dedicated server?

Because I can't afford it and it would be overkill for a single proxy.

You'd be surprised how many proxy services use dedicated servers.

True, I used one before for my proxy and even with a pentium 4 with 1gb ram, the proxy became slow with hundreds of requests per minute.
