  256MB of total bandwidth?
  So generous.

  I mean I understand limited speed then - you don't want to burn all your allocated bandwidth within 0.5 second right? Right?!

  to be perfectly candid, my VPS originally had 2GB RAM and unmetered bandwidth..

  So you should now have 2GB bandwidth and Unmetered RAM 🤔

  If 2 Gb means 256 MiB, that's not even enough for a single apt upgrade from Debian 12 to Debian 13.

  You will be billed by number of clock cycles.

  (Fun fact: Some enterprise mainframe hardware actually does bill you by the cycle).

  Probably nobody has thought of taking it down. @raindog308 ?

  EDIT: also, I don't know what happened with their BS litigation effort, but probably in the threat of litigation about Provider benefits, it may have been most prudent to leave things alone, but probably not now I guess.

  i was receiving 256kbps speed when i purchased vps from veloxmedia. Felt like they living in 1999 era.

  I'm not sure what exactly the policy of LEB is in this respect -- perhaps @raindog308 can say -- but that's an ad from last June and the offers are no longer available

  I suspect that if one looks a bit, this isn't the only case of a past ad on LEB from a provider that was eventually banned on LET

  There's a sense in which LEB and LET function independently of each other, even if LEB often makes reference to LET

  Yeah… at that point it’s not really a “bandwidth plan”, it’s more like a demo of TCP connecting successfully lol

  256 MB total transfer is extremely low by modern VPS standards, especially if it’s paired with any meaningful compute or storage use. You’ll hit that ceiling just from:

  In normal conditions I guess even all the unsollicited portscans, pings and login tries can count up to 256MB of traffic.

  So basically it's a great money maker: let "customers" (avoid calling them that) pay for every extra kByte...

  Same (without even having to pay the extortion fee), and it's performing quite well. I suspect either Eric didn't notice, or he doesn't consider me a "LET customer" because I bought the VPS before joining LET. Either way, I have to consider it a write-off and assume it'll go down eventually. I suspect they'll all go down sooner or later.
