Someone will always pull the plug when you hit the undocumented limit.
- rosndo 5y agoBig providers like OVH and Hetzner (and many others) offer truly unmetered bandwidth. You can max out your line nonstop for as long as you’d like.
- dspillett 5y agoYep, the cheap dedicated servers I have are with Kimsufi and SoYouStart (both OVH brands), though the lines are limited to 100mbit and 250mbit respectively and IIRC neither is guaranteed (something like X servers sharing a gbit+ connection, where Xrate > TotalLineRate) so I can usually* but not always get 100mbit out of kimsufi. I've not really pushed the SYS machine's resources yet, it is a recent addition to my dominion. A search engine pulling data from /dev/urandom as in the post that started this discussion is likely to impact other uses of the 100mbit link from Kimsufi. Worse if bad luck means multiple hits of that sort at the same time.
- rosndo 5y agoIf you’re too small to get negotiated rates, you can still get kimsufi and SYS kit with guaranteed gbit from resellers. Check out https://discord.com/invite/7Gv8tdM https://discord.com/invite/7Gv8tdM There are really good deals available, all of these still come with a decent margin for the reseller.
