This March theory has legs. I got a Time4VPS storage plan in March 2024, 1TB for EUR 4.50/mo. Same plan in November was EUR 5.99. I thought it was a one-off.
Is Black Friday actually the cheapest time anymore?

So the thread consensus is: Black Friday is for suckers, March is for insiders, July is for clearance on dodgy nodes?
I'm going to set calendar alerts for February next year. See if the pre-fiscal-year leaks start early.

Still waiting on someone to address this. Vultr Amsterdam peers with NTT, Cogent, Telia. If the July node was on a different switch fabric than the BF node, your "same DC" is same zip code, different path. I don't trust any sale that moves inventory that fast.
