Where is the fault at online.net?
Hello!
Online.net has offers from time to time. Something like 40-60€ for dual Xeon 16-64G ram an unmetered gigabit.
I searched in TOS today for the bandwith which they really mean with unlimited but found nothing.
Is there someone who can confirm this? Or better make it clear what's really on there with unlimited bandwidth.
Thanks!

I have never been limited on my boxes and I have pushed around 30TB some months.
The issue with Online.net is their absolute policies on account transfers and merging accounts - it cannot be done.
I get 15TB/month out of my little one core @1,6GHz CPU. More isn't possible because I alread have an usage of 100%. But I'm sure a lot more is possible:)
Ok and why did the interface not ACCEPT my phone number ?
I used the Santax shown on the form. one of you can help me here please?
Thanks a lot for your comments.
I think they only accept french phone number, I also have same problem, I write random number start with +33, and it works LOL
And your 1st question: Yes, real unlimited BW
Worked for me, using +44 (UK)
+1
German numbers (+49) was working too. But the syntax really fucked me up -.-
Austrian (0043) no issue either, i doubt it's limited in any way.
You have guaranteed minimum for every offer stated on product page just look in product table... I do tests on different times it's always over the minimum... (several times over)
the only "catch" in europe is the price of IP addresses...
Last time 64GB offer was with 200 mbits guaranteed speed
@multi
Please post an example. The syntax is really anoying.
Can't figure it out.
Easy, Country, area code, phone #

@derdigge
I think they changed something. Now its pretty easy:
+49.180666666
Just +49.MYNUMBER
EDIT: Forget the first 0.
Example for a number in Berlin (030 123456789): +49.30123456789
+31 worked for me. (the Netherlands)
Tried a different browser now. Iron didn't work but Firefox does.
It's unlimited, you can use as many bandwidth as you want, just don't abuse them like kcaj
I also had issues with the phone numbers it tooke me 4-5 tries to guess the format, but in the end worked. sadly, I dont remember which version did.
I believe this is the solution. Just a UX issue.
It's not abuse if a provider advertises the capability and providers the capability to use it.
@kcaj, it's 1Gbps port, not 1Gbps dedicated / server. They never advertised you can use 1Gbps.
Right. For those 2 euro boxes, they guarantee you get at least 100Mbps and burstable to 1Gbps.
@kcaj I would recommend checking out https://status.online.net/weathermap/ and find out where is your box located.
The server is advertised with a 1Gb/s link, though that is not my argument here, I'm not shocked that a 2EUR doesn't come with 1Gb/s. If it is unreasonable for Online.net to provide 1Gb/s then they should limit my port and remove the 1Gb/s reference from their site as it's meaningless in any context.
The weather map doesn't cover switches, just routers. In the case of the 2EUR server they're connected to switches at 1Gb/s with a 12:1 contention ratio.
@kcaj agree, they should only limit your port.
