Binding	per-ip-shaping traffic is unmetered, so what binds is the port and the single core; the published slice card does not state the port speed, which is the gap in this row.

Notes	USD 7.00 for 2 GiB is well over the line, and the row is recorded because BuyVM's unmetered traffic is the cheapest genuinely unmetered bandwidth. The slice that fits the budget is SLICE 1024 at USD 3.50 for 1 GiB, which is too small to rank. USD 24.00 a year for SLICE 512 is the cheapest annual figure seen anywhere.

Price	$5.00/TB-month for the slab ($50.00/month for a 10TB slab). A slab needs a KVM Slice in the same facility: 10TB on the 4096 MB slice ($15.00/month) is $65.00/month = $6.50/TB-month all-in; on the 8 GB High Volume slice ($30.00/month, Unlim. 1000 Mbps) it is $80.00/month = $8.00/TB-month. The page does not say whether the TB in slab sizes is binary: unverified.
Limits	per-object-cap (binding) 10 TB hard cap per source per-object-cap: none. Downgrade impossible — you must order a new slab and migrate. 10 TB hard cap per slab. Requires a base slice, so the true entry cost is a slice plus a slab.
Identity	card Registration needs a legitimate name and surname and a residential address, placed from a residential ISP; a phone number is not required; payment by PayPal, credit card, cryptocurrency (Coinpayments) or Alipay, with account details matching the payment method.
Egress	Every KVM Slice plan on the vendor page is listed 'Unmetered Bandwidth' and the High Volume plans 'Unlim. 1000 Mbps'; no numeric transfer cap is published on the vendor pages read.

Composes with	Hot-pluggable between slices in the same facility with no reboot, which makes it easy to re-front with a different server. No object API at all ('We may consider an Object Store product down the line, but not at this time').
Reliability	Frantech, operating since 2010, the most consistently recommended block-storage product on LET for a decade. Known friction: signup must come from a residential ISP and is refused from VPN/Tor/datacenter IPs, P.O. boxes rejected — a real obstacle for a privacy-conscious buyer but not an identity-document requirement. Storage is 'enterprise 7200RPM hard drives with an NVME cache and a 40Gbit+ InfiniBand'.
