2. http://dudeel.com/video/watch?v=Rj747hdyp13cP

What ever bit rate you feel like having your site stream?  It's your bandwidth.

I don't have a bandwidth limit.

Yes you do. There is a physical barrier on how fast the hardware can transfer the data.

Anyone who think they can get unlimited bandwidth are ignorant. Do you think you can get "unlimited" for $5.95/month on your dreamhost account while huge sites like Youtube spend $1,000,000/month1?

Well I do have both unlimited bandwidth and disk space... It's just this small print in TOS that limits the interesting ways I could use it... :P
And yeah... limited access to database... Huh... :D

By bandwidth I mean the number of MB's from server to client.  I do have a limit on CPU, RAM, and those things...

At least they say that they will give me unlimited. They say that no matter how much I use I won't be charged more that what I pay per month.

Yeah well, seems like you forgot to read the fine print:
http://dreamhost.com/unlimited.html

"File upload / sharing / archive / backup / mirroring / distribution sites" and "Making your account resources available (whether for free or pay) to the general public" is not allowed. As far as I can tell, your site violates that. I believe you also once said that you provide a free host service and file upload service. Basically there are plenty of reasons for terminating your accounts.

As I said:

They give you "unlimited" because the only types of sites that would use up a lot of diskspace and bandwidth are not allowed. They still earn money though because of all the gullible people who think that there exists a such thing as unlimited anything.

File upload / sharing / archive / backup / mirroring / distribution sites

I have a file hosting site, free php website hosting, videos, and have gotten technical support on all of them, and they didn't say anything about them violating any TOS.

Quote
This whole page is just to announce to the <.1% of people who want to try and run free porn affiliate sites or anime video trading forums or host pirated rips of The Dark Knight on DreamHost that we're not having any.

but in case they say something, then I will ask to go back to my regular hosting.

So... In the case they don't say something, could we answer my original question?

So lets say that I do have unlimited everything (other than CPU / RAM). As a client computer, which video would you rather connect to? The larger video with better quality, or the smaller video with poor quality, or the one in between with fair quality?

Exactly. Meaning that you're not getting unlimited bandwidth for the money that you're currently paying.

I never said I was getting unlimited for what I am paying... You guy are. I just said I have unlimited.

NO MORE ABOUT UNLIMITED THAT ISN'T WHAT THIS TOPIC IS ABOUT!
