Hello Hetzner thread
1. I see they say unmetered but what happen if use too much?
2. My friend use RackNerd before, they suspend after 10TB
3. "Unmetered" always have hidden limit I think
4. OVHcloud is better, they tell you 5TB clearly
5. Anyone try push Hetzner to see real cap?
6. I like honest provider only
Thank you

Hetzner does not meter 95th-percentile bandwidth on any unmetered tier. Abuse of shared transit triggers AUP review, not billing.

Three reviews on Trustpilot is performanceart honestly. Hetzner could be OVHcloud's ghosttown cousin for all that signal tells us.

Hetzner say 8 year but domain only 3 month very fishy
1. My brother check Contabo, they show real age since 2019
2. OVHcloud also hide their whois same trick maybe?
3. 190TBps sound like copy-paste from Vultr or other
4. 12 month minimum make me run away fast
5. If they new, why pretend old? Scam smell strong

Account closures follow KYC flags, not curiosity. Escalate via ticket for review. I'm just a customer, but that's been my experience.

Every time a provider says "escalate via ticket" what they mean is "we already decided." Twenty years watching this dance. Hetzner's AUP is a rubber ruler. They can pull it out whenever the transit ratio looks ugly.

IPv4, IRC, and irssi — fight me

I pushed Hetzner AX42 to 45 TB in a month. No suspension, no email. Falkenstein to Seoul latency 220 ms stable. They do not care if you actually use the pipe.

45 TB wow. My friend RackNerd die at 10 TB like I say. Hetzner maybe real unmetered then?

What counts as abuse? One guy's CDN is another guy's "abuse." I had a Hetzner storage box flagged for "excessive outbound" that was just rsync to my home NAS. Took six tickets to clear.

Trustpilot is gamed everywhere. I judge by ASN reputation and actual peering. Hetzner peers at AMS-IX, DE-CIX, LINX. That is not a ghosttown setup.
