What is the bandwidth limit for AT&T/SBC Elite DSL customer, if I were to host web site with Apa

ATT/SBC - Residential - Elite DSL package.



I%26#039;ve got apache set up on my computer and I want to host my own php/mysql web site.



How much usage before they slap on additional charges, bump me to a commericial account, or suspend my account?



What is the bandwidth limit for AT%26amp;T/SBC Elite DSL customer, if I were to host web site with Apache server?





with the 6.0Mbps down, you%26#039;ve probably got around 768kbps upload ... so, ideally, about 80kb/s file transfer. it%26#039;s probably uncapped (no bandwidth limit), so you shouldn%26#039;t have to worry about any extra charges, but it%26#039;ll be aweful slow loading/downloading if you get more than 2 or 3 people connected, plus you won%26#039;t be able to do much of anything online if someone%26#039;s connected.



*Note: most home broadband companies use dynamic IP addresses ... they change your IP address every couple weeks, month, 2 months, whatever. so if you%26#039;re using a redirect, you%26#039;ll have to keep it updated.

The first problem you will encounter is that AT%26amp;T and other residential ISP%26#039;s block port 80 incoming so you webserver will have to use another port outside of the 0-1024 range.
