0.09$ per Mbps (right top corner in specials)
Another case of one server tech thinking and talking AS IF all buyers are server savvy.
that's like selling a used car and not telling buyer car is using synthetic motor oil only.
You cannot expect handholding on super cheap services. However, yes I agree, communication reduces trouble.
Advertising data bandwidth as 4 TB per month and kicking them out if customer try to use even 1TB , is basically false and misleading advertising.
Tell me any other LET provider who does this kind of shady practices.
I'm starting to think webcraft is an alt account for the provider lol
I'm just having fun playing bs ping-pong with you.
Not doing false advertising also reduces trouble.
If it was between being restricted to around 10mbits sustained and single homed he.net or cogent, I would gladly take the second option
I’ve also noticed the current ping times are nothing special anyways
Wow! The performance of this VPS has really taken a hit and something seems to be wrong with the multi-core configuration - the multi-core score is lower than the single core score. I tried with the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Debian 10, and CentOS 8 images and all had the same result.
Download speeds are pretty poor now too compared to the past.

Why do people think I am kicking off people. That has never happened or even been suggested.
Fill out a ticket and I will figure out what is wrong. Maybe the package was set up incorrectly. I have made mistakes before and always fixed them.
Throttling the data port to 5 mbps.
Basically customer is penalized for using the bandwidth advertised with the offer. The customer will, of course, be forced to move out.
Imagine the panic if the server is only good for idling & occasional yabs (hope it's at least 2 before throttle cuts you off). It's almost as if this offer is especially curated for LET users.
But it resets at the top and bottom of the hour. And the throttle is 20 mbps.
Thanks for that. I have requested a quote.
So, is it ok to order $3.50 VPS, if the expected data consumed is 1 TB (the offer states 2 TB monthly bandwidth)
And what condition kicks the data throttle to 20 mbps speed?
Any notification sent to the customer when this data throttle kicks in?
You'll notice it in real time in the data transfer monitor of your software causing the bandwidth overusage.
Also take a look at cogent. Not sure which DC you are at specifically but they are present at one of the tierpoint data centers in charlotte
No, there is none. That would explain why the YABS I posted further up the page is limited to 20 mbps. I just thought the connection sucked, guess not!
Not sure exactly what the threshold is, but it seems to be if the VPS downloads 6-8 gigabytes of data in an hour it'll kick in.
I'd figure I'd chime in on some LowEndDrama. Overselling on bandwidth allotment is low... Lower than what should be allowed on LET.
let's set the record straight once and for all by having the provider explain how the vps can consume 4TB per month, with some math.
looking at typical colo prices its usually 1gbps monthly fixed rate with allocated transfer , say 100TB , up to unmetered. plenty of providers oversell traffic simply because most wont use beyond 10%, but throttling the bandwidth is new.
thats whats shown on LET though, do vps providers get different kind of plans?
You could use 4TB of bandwidth (if you were allowed to) in 30 days sustaining a 13Mbps speed and 2TB of bandwidth in 30 days sustaining a 6.5Mbps speed. OP, is suggesting that it's a 1Gbit port but wait, it's only for short bursts. Oh wait, it's actually a 100Mbit port and you could be suspended for bursting over 100Mbit too often. I would like to know how the provider expects to run a business with such deceptive practices. 4TB is 4TB, nobody wants to hear "go to coloncrossing" for using what they've paid for.
@LittleCreek
Kindly confirm this. Thank you.
So you rather want to be throttled to 100MBit/s right away instead of being allowed to burst to 1GBit/s for a limited time?
Download just 20 gb even on 100 Mbps data port and you will be throttled to super speed of 20 Mbps. You do not have to believe me, check with @LittleCreek
I am not going to comment anymore on this thread. The objection has been noted in the ad and it will be changed. I wasn't trying to be deceptive but I can see now that it is. I know from experience with signups from this forum that almost nobody uses anything close to 4 TB. But I will definitely change it. If I could edit the original post I would. No need to beat a dead horse.
Thank you for the acknowledgment.
Respect for you. ✊
For my use case, non-production hobbyist things, I'm happy with an 100Mbit port.
