Okay, This is a question I should know, but my question is how does a Tier convert to GB in bandwidth? Example, If i want 100GB of bandwidth, What do I want in Tier.
Thank You

i think you may be confusing terms. "tier" is a fancy marketing term people use to say they're on a certain level with other isps on the Internet. there are many definitions, i'm sure, but this is the one i use: an isp is "tier one" if they peer with everyone (rather than purchase bandwidth) they connect to. if they're buying bandwidth from someone, they're "tier two" to that isp, and therefore are tier two overall.
little of this necessarily matters when it comes to buying bandwidth. it's nice if your isp is connected to a so-called "tier one" at least, but it doesn't guarantee you'll have better performance there than elsewhere.
or did you mean megabit/second rates? there's approximately 303GB/month transferred if you average a megabit per second for an entire month.

If you want 100GB then you just want a good price no matter what tier they want to call it. ;)
