1&1 unlimited bandwidth - Too good to be true?

[neave]

Hi folks,

I've been on the hunt for a server with unlimited/unmetered bandwidth or at least a very high-capped bandwidth (over 1000GB/mo) and stumbled across 1&1 UK's offering:

Not only does it seem cheap (£57/mo or $100/mo for the 'business server') but they offer unlimited bandwidth at 100Mbit:

What do you think? As I'm UK-based this seems a great deal to me... or is there a better deal out there that I'm missing out on? My main need is bandwidth and a server than can cope with high quantities of traffic, not a server with lots of disk space.

Thanks buckets,
Paul.

Better deal? This is classified as a too good to be true deal.

Steer clear from 1and1!!! EVIL!!

So the verdict is unanimous... don't go with 1&1!

I'm currently with media temple but the bandwidth bills are way too much. What would anyone recommend as the best host to go for to get unmetered or 1000GB/mo (and more) bandwidth yet still relatively cheap?

Thanks a lot.

Wow, what are you hosting that you need 1TB a month? Not going to find that for relatively cheap.

http://fdcservers.net/ has offered unmetered for a few years. Everyone says the connection is kind of slow and the uptime isn't great, but their prices are great for an unmetered.
