Hot take leh
'unmetered' bandwidth is the new 'unlimited' disk. Same trick different year. They don't meter until they do, then they decide what abuse mean. Can?
I ask three provider already. All say "unmetered lor" but AUP say "we reserve right to limit if usage affect others." affect others how? They don't say. Very concise, very useless.
We need list of who actually promise what. Not marketing, the clause. Anyone got?

¡Is very frustrating! I have "unmetered" with RackNerd and they send me email after 15TB saying "your usage pattern is not consistent with typical hosting." ¿Typical for who? Jajaja I am not even doing anything illegal, just seeding Linux ISOs!!!
I ask them "what is the limit exactly" and they say "there is no limit, we just need you to reduce." This is not answer. Is very... how you say... circular.
I delete my first draft of this post. Was too angry. Now I am only medium angry.

I have the Contabo terms here, from when I sign up. They say « unmetered ingress/egress on 1Gbps shared port » but then in section 14.3: "the" Company may implement "the" traffic shaping for accounts exceeding 95th percentile of peer usage over 30-day window.
How to say... this means they meter, but secretly? They compare you to others, not to fixed number. Is like unlimited but with extra steps.
I also find Vultr say "not actively metered" which is different words, same meaning I think. Oui.
We should make "the" glossary of these phrases. I can help.
