This is the honest form of unmetered: the cap is a 100 Mbit/s port, not a byte counter, and the vendor states the implied monthly figure (~30 TB). The 10 Gbps burst allowance IS a real 500 GiB/month counter.

  • per-ip-shaping 100 Mbps sustained internet egress; 10 Gbps burst capped at 500 GiB/month source
CPU/IO fair-use (0.5-1 core, standard IO priority). RAID5 survives one drive. 25% burst quota above allocation; bonus disk grows with account age. Live fleet stats published (median 25.7 users/server, 37.1 ms disk response, 24.1% disks busy) — unusually honest disclosure.
Bindingper-ip-shaping The port is the ceiling, not the byte counter: 100 Mbps sustained is 1.08 TB (0.982 TiB) per day, so the client's 1 TiB/day serving target sits at 101.8% of the port.
