Feeding them with Gb/s values instead of GB/s values is a scam in my opinion.

OK.

If you don't understand something, that doesn't make it a scam. Network speed is not measured in GB. You may personally want it to be, but that's not how the world currently works. If you'd like to change that, start with every network vendor on the face of the earth.

A real problem (IMO) is the misuse of the term bandwidth.

Bandwidth is speed, specifically maximum speed, e.g. 100 mbps or 1 gbps.

But most providers misuse the term bandwidth to mean transfer per month.

e.g. Vultr (for their entry-level plan) advertises 1000GB bandwidth. They mean data transfer per month. They don't offer 8,000 gbps port speed!

That is true, we do not properly say: Traffic amount 3 TB on a 1 Gbps shared port which would describe the network side more clearly. Guilty as charged.
That being said, I cant fallow Mark_R, even tho i tried. I genuinely do not understand what he means.
