I am looking at an order for a well known upstream provider. They are handing me a circuit at a data center. The contract reads if we use more than 50% of the outbound the price gets re-priced and almost doubles. How many folks have ran into this?
if you're buying 500Mb/s commit 95th percentile on a 1Gb/s circuit or 5Gb/s on 10 then you can expect a contract to specify an upcharge accordingly if you bust your commit. I generally look for terms that provide a relavitily short notification window for uping my commit. e.g. 6 weeks or less.
