1GB KVM VPS with (close to?)unmetered bandwidth for ~5 USD?

stefeman · November 2016

So far I only found 2 offers that are somewhat acceptable.

https://my.blazingfast.io/cart/&step=3
https://www.leaseweb.com/cloud/public/virtual-server/configure/23970

I wonder since its Cyber Monday if theres any provider that can offer better?

My only requirements are:

100 Mbps / 1000 Mbps unmetered (or high bandwidth limit)
1 GB RAM + swap (if possible)
KVM
10+ GB Storage

Im not sure about Blazingfast's network, so I'd rather not buy from them.
