Another week another deadpool? - JustVPS edition
Greetings,
Unfortunately, we want to inform you that our company faces financial hardships because of enormous traffic consumption. The latest invoices sent by the data center in Singapore are putting us at a huge loss and we’re no longer going to provide services in this location. The company is compelled to close the office and sell the available equipment.
According to our database you have the following services in this location:
...
Please save all the important data as soon as possible and inform us about it, because servers might be taken down at any moment.
As the minimal compensation we will issue the refund for the remaining funds:

Can you confirm about this? @JustVPS

Oh well, at least there's comms
no one wants to buy Vult's VPS at x2 cost. case closed
and JustVPS was sponsoring some platinum yellow-pages like local directory for whopping S$750 ~ $560 x 2 = $1120 USD a month for two listings!
What a waste of money!
They got Traffic caps on each VPS, and you wanna tell me, they don't monitor traffic?
That's the shitiest of shit excuses I have ever read.
Nuclear bandwidth overages can get EXTREMELY pricey especially in a market like Singapore. Definitely enough to destroy a company if the upstream provider isn't willing to cut a deal
This is definitely feasible and it's also likely that their bandwidth caps weren't working properly
That is a very odd excuse. They have no bandwidth caps?
When I asked for Deadpool 3 to come out soon I didn't mean this kind of deadpool.
maybe they said that the client had 500 GB but only bought 100 GB (and only took money for 100gb from client)
Probably did in incorrect estimate of expected consumption vs. promised consumption and got burned with too much consumption by LET users
Ouch. Looks like a case of bandwidth overselling, that was miscalculated and misfired pretty badly.
And what a location to try that in. Only place more expensive would be AU I guess? Or is SG even more than AU these days?
Francisco
Apac is a region where bandwidth demand is actually pretty high and that is one region, I will never fuck with when it comes to network commit. A gamble that to can't win.
some CDN charging even higher for Latin America
Well if BunnyCDN prices are anything to go by, Middle East/Africa looks even more expensive
HiNet, Korea Telecom, Optus, Telecom Argentina, Telefonica, Telstra are the most expensive networks in the world.
this vps just 100mb port speed
I mean... they started selling their Singapore VPS with Unmetered bandwidth.

LOL
Oh they also used LeaseWeb, and LeaseWeb bandwidth overcharge is crazily high
Giving unmetered bandwidth vps with that price on singapore is an act of suicide..
True. It is not like in Europe. Offering unmetered bandwidth in Singapore is expensive. That offer was unsustainable. Maybe they thought people would not abuse it as unmetered.
Unmetered in Singapore... guess that is exploited
last time I asked, KINX was talking around $3.5/Mbit for a Gbit line, and they are actually one of the cheaper networks in South Korea
i guess, it's just poor provider
with idle server that must be paid,
cannot be sold vps,
and short cash flow
… bandwidth is minor issue
