Traffic Preference (new poll)
please vote again sorry
Option 1: Monthly traffic quota
You get a set amount of traffic per month (e.g. 2TB). If you go over, your port gets throttled or you can purchase additional traffic.
Option 2: Fair use (shared bandwidth)
No hard traffic limit, but bandwidth is shared with other VMs on the same node. Speed could be throttled if impact on others.
Option 3: Guaranteed unmetered port
Dedicated port speed with no traffic cap (e.g. 100–200Mbps).
Option 4: Something else / hybrid
Have another idea? Drop it in the comments.

i liked the last thread more can we bring that one back
I don't understand your poll. It's too complicated.
Please do a poll on how to poll this.
im being trolled
Poll options are hard to understand. Maybe post with examples.
Why don't you post some real deals as examples of the poll options?
okay i update dangit poll gone im gonna go insane
I guess it depends. Usually i'll probably prefer 1 but 2 would mostly work too. 3 would be kind of a niche situation.
You are mixing up traffic and bandwidth options. Say, I chose the first option – do I get guaranteed or shared bandwidth to consume my quota?
option 1
Option 2
OPT 3
Option 2
Option 2
Hello I can't vote without poll, can you please add back the poll @aluy
You are right, i shouldve mentioned that its for VPS which would be shared on all options. Its a good question if option 3 would even be possible with my pricing. Im not sure how others do it
It depends on the use case of course.
Most of my servers do not require much bandwidth and generate very little traffic, so I would probably go with option 3. That way I know what I get, no risk of any over usage charges and I'm usually not even close to needing that kind of bandwidth anyway.
not sure about 123 but ill go with 2, 100Mbps-1Gbps is enough for me. for 1, il say 10-20TiB is enough for me. 3 however is fine
1 or 3 is the best option. I'm starting to get annoyed by hosts saying Fair Use but there is no clear definition of what is considered fair. Different hosts may have different definition.
