The bandwidth ( or traffic ) represents the amount of data your listeners download from us when they stay connected to your station(s). Every listener will consume an amount of traffic that is equal to your bitrate, every second he listens. For example if you stream at 128 kbps ( kilobits per second ) and you have 20 listeners that stay connected one hour, this would be the consumption formula: 20 ( listeners ) * 128 ( kilobits ) * 60 ( seconds ) * 60 (minutes ) / 8 ( to transform it from kilobits in kilobytes ) / 1024 ( to transform it from kilobytes in megabytes ) / 1024 ( to transform it from megabytes in gigabytes ) ~= 1.10 GB/hour. So, the traffic consumption depends on the number of listeners you have, how long they stay connected to your station(s) for and the bitrate you stream at. If you have an account with serverroom.us , when you almost reach your traffic limit you will receive an e-mail. You will also be able to check your traffic consumption at any time in your account page by logging in on our website.

The price calculater for WMS where you choose the upload bandwidth and the number of slots you want, how do I work out my upload bandwidth?
Im on virginmedia 10mb service which has a 512kb upload but I understand this is the speed and not the bandwidth so Im not too sure which to go for. Im looking to stream a live video from a camcorder for about an hour every week to 10-20 people/slots. Please excuse the newbie question but I cant see it stated anywhere. Thanks. |

I`m sure the first windows media plan will soot you needs The internet speed is different then bandwidth . The upload speed you have is very good for a stream and the bandwidth you have it allocated to the first plan I'm sure it will be enought for your stream http://www.serverroom.us/windowsmediaserverhosting up to 30 listeners 50 GB $2.65 per 10 GB 100 MB $12.99 If you will need assistance in using it we offer 24/7 live support on our live chat http://livechat.serverroom.us |
