per-object-cap: none. 'Unlimited Expanding Storage' plans add +1 to +15 GB/day of disk rather than granting it up front. Xen on the older storage line. |
| Identity | card card |
| Egress | Two options per plan, switchable in the control panel. Option 1 (the one that matters): 'Unlimited transfer — 250 Mbps port, grows +1 Mbps/day up to 1 Gbps'. Option 2: '10 Gbps port — 12TB 1Gbps monthly cap (throttled to ~10 Mbps after cap)'. So the truly unmetered option is speed-clamped at 250 Mbps and slowly ramps, and the fast option is a 12 TB cap that degrades to ~10 Mbps rather than billing overage. The provider states traffic is counted on BOTH directions (LET thread 199994 p9: 'We count traffic from both d[irections]'). |
