Sorry for the confusion I was not saying they have a 10mb pipe I was referencing this post:

Maybe it's time that a web hosting company hosts you for free and they can do the backups for you. This'll take the worry of time/money. You can find someone to sponsor you.

You get $50/month from advertising and over $200/month in donations. I fail to see how you're not able to financially put this place together. That's an honest analysis. We run on $100/month for web hosting only with no bandwidth limitations. Your business model needs tweaked.

Also I wanted to add that ironically the planet and softlayer are the same company now. However clearly it is softlayer that is controlling everything. I also use softlayer for my game servers and I have been really happy with them!
