unlimited bandwidth. Is that for real? 300 Mbits. Let's assume you can pump out 100 Mbit sustained. That is about 10 MB/s. or 26,000,000 Megabytes/mont

300 Mbits. Let's assume you can pump out 100 Mbit sustained. That is about 10 MB/s. or 26,000,000 Megabytes/month. 26,000 GB / month.
AWS & google cloud are about $.10/GB. That'd cost 2600 USD to serve.
Scaleway claims that'd cost just 12 euro.
For realz?
- Aissen 11y agoYes, and it's already the cases for the C1s. It's best effort, you're not guaranteed a sustained I/O if your neighbors are as greedy. But I have a few workloads at OVH and Scaleway that are bandwith-bound, and cloud pricings are just 10 to 100 times more expensive. That's how it is.
- tux3 11y agoI have a 3€ C1 server at Scaleway moving some 25-30TB of data per month, so yes, it's very real.
- codecamper 11y agoamazing! very good!
- muhpirat 11y agoWith my tor relays I pushed around 150Mbit up and Down. Which is around 45TB per direction and Month.
- pyvpx 11y ago"unmetered" is a popular dedicated hosting company marketing trick. things are generally oversubscribed to horrifically oversubscribed and you'll be very hard pressed to sustain 100Mbps 24x7 for a full day, let alone a full month.
- muhpirat 11y agoI pushed on 2 instances around 150Mbit/s with no problems at all :)
- hackerboos 11y agoBecause they aren't oversubscribed...yet.
- vidarh 11y agoAmazon bandwidth prices are utterly insane. Pretty much every reasonably hosting provider out there will be below 20% of Amazon on bandwidth prices even with metered bandwidth, and going down to around 2% of AWS bandwidth prices (still for metered). Basically, if you're shifting lots of data out of AWS, it very often pays to rent some cheap boxes elsewhere to use as caching proxies. Every TB of AWS bandwidth you can cut trivially finances an extra server and still leaves you with savings.
- msh 11y agoDownloading from my c1 will regularly max out my 100 megabit fiber at home.
- xrjn 11y agoTheir mother company (Online/Iliad/Free) does this to balance out their incoming/outgoing traffic in order to avoid to pay for transit, which is why they provide these services at/near cost.
- mikmak 11y agonope, our network (Online.net/Scaleway) is AS12876, Free/Iliad is AS12322 neither of them reannounce the other AS to the internet, they are both independant and separated
- b1340276 11y agoThe main reason is vendor lockin. As long as you stay within AWS you will pay barely anything but if you want to use both AWS and Google Cloud then it will start getting expensive.
- bcheung 11y agoYes, AWS is insanely expensive. I have a quad core i7, 64 GB RAM, 3 x 4TB hard drives, and a 1 Gbps pipe with OVH for around $100/mo. Unfortunately it is not in the US. The closest they have is near Montreal. They are expanding to the West Coast though I hear.
