At the height of their attacks, they were only able to generate 650 megabits per second which, at the old data center, instantly overwhelmed my one hundred megabit per second connection. By moving my server to the new data center and paying the extra money, the dos attacks failed to disrupt my shows ever again. I just accounted for $619 of my monthly expenses, now the rest: Four inbound business phone lines from Vonage at $49 per month each: Add another $200 per month. Dual outbound cable modems to be able to switch IP's if attacked during a show: $125 per month. Back-up DSL line which I got after a thunder storm took out the cable modems one night: $49 a month. Add it up. $993 a month . . . . . . before software upgrades, licensing fees, music licensing fees to use "Call Me" as my theme music and other main stream tunes as bumper music. $993 a month before technical problems or hardware failures. $993 a month before repairing the machine from the two hacker attacks that required complete rebuilds of the machine and extensive technical work to prevent future hacks. Who's the "bitch" now?
