What is the difference between Concurrent and Bandwidth pricing?
Bandwidth pricing is also known as usage-based. This pricing structure is generally the best way to go. Using this structure, you prepay for a set amount of bandwidth based on your estimated usage. Each listener or viewer who connects to your stream will use up bandwidth out of your pre-paid ‘bucket’. if you go over your prepaid amount, the difference is billed as overage. There are no limits on what you can stream, you can change bitrates at any time, and no viewer or listener is ever denied service. Concurrent pricing can be good if you need to absolutely have a ‘fixed cost’ for your streaming. Using this structure, you select a maximum amount of listeners, and specify a bitrate. You are then locked in to that bitrate, and cannot exceed the maximum listeners. There is no posibility of overages with this structure. Concurrent pricing requires manual set-up. For example: You select a bitrate of 32k, and 25 listeners. If you have 25 listeners, and a 26th person attempts to connect, they
