Bandwidth packages from IBM Cloud

Overview
Choose the right bandwidth package for you
“Bandwidth” refers to the public data transfer of inbound and outbound network traffic, both to and from IBM Cloud Data Centers around the globe. Higher bandwidth options — when combined with 10-Gbps port-speed connectivity — enable greater throughput for transaction-intensive workloads, while eliminating bottlenecks and helping meet the needs of your business.
