Unlimited Bandwidth - Can you recommend a host?

[fatrat]

This is my current package:
http://www.4uhosting.co.uk/plus.php

After just a couple of days allowing users to upload media files and streaming them a quarter of my bandwidth has gone.

So, I need a decent host with unlimited bandwidth. Can you recomend any?

No because none exist. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth technically speaking. Hmm 110mb.com offers 100GB of bandwidth a month. Maybe that will suffice for you.

There are hosts that provide unlimited bandwidth, space, etc etc. Check out Centrica's unlimited web hosting. They sell it from time to time on ebay.co.uk, for about 10 dollars per year. check it out. (http://search-desc.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&from=R10&satitle=centrica+web&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&fts=2&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&sadis=200&fpos=Postcode&ga10244=10425&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search) you could also search for "unlimited web hosting", but centrica has excellent feedback from several of my friends. I would've taken them as well, but at the time paypal didn't work in Croatia, but I'm definitely taking them for every other website I'm ever making, and for next year for my web design/blog site. My current host, siteground (http://siteground.com), gives me 900 GB of traffic monthly

Do you mean Centrica Hosting Ltd (http://www.centricahosting.com/)? They don't seem to be selling any plan with "unlimited" bandwidth, and certainly nothing for 10 pop a year.

Call me sceptical, but as always in this world: you get what you pay for. Bandwidth costs money, and I think no company can afford to offer unlimited bandwidth (if that indeed is even technically possible) without them haemorrhaging funds.

Well they can offer "unlimited bandwidth" in the sense of how much data you can transfer over a month but like Ronald pointed out, that costs a lot of money. So in actuality the amount of data they can transfer at any given point in time might be fairly low. They might let you transfer 900gb a month but it might not be very fast once a lot of people start using it.

I've seen hosts advertise "unlimited bandwidth" before and there is usually a catch or some other exception. Basically it boils down to the fact that you'll probably be paying a lot more than 49.99 per month to be able to run that site.

thats £49.99 a year ;)

As your in the UK I would recomend www.oneandone.co.uk

I have been using them for three years have brought over 150 domain names from them at £4.98 for two years and never ran out of bandwidth even with all those domain names pointing too directories.

Plus I've never ever had a problem with them.

The thing on ebay is the same as their reseller account, except you can only host 1 domain with it. Look at all the (good) reviews for anti-skepticism.
