Can I specify bandwidth to soft layer API for crea

Question

I am trying to create a virtual server through soft layer API. But the API I came across don't seem to accept network bandwidth, can't I specify the required bandwidth for my virtual server created through API?

Thanks, Kishore

Anyway, here an example using SoftLayer_Product_Order::placeOrder method to place an order for VSI with bandwidth:
