    Question - how many customers actually use up all of their double bandwidth? Every month?

    Edit - and without otherwise abusing the service in some way?

  • Maybe 1% or less.

    Fair point :+1:

    @ascicode

    It really depends on the product. For storage VPS, that percentage is much higher.

  • Yes, storage should always be doubled, but standard deals not. If you just idling, it can be also the half of it. In an indirect way, the provider looses nothing.

    Jokes aside, I would say that providers could do a form/ticketing system, enabling automation too and not ruining the threads with spam.

    Doubled from what? What's the starting point?

    500GB? It should be doubled! 1TB? It should be doubled! 2 TB It should be doubled. 5 TB? It should be doubled. 250GB? It should be doubled. Doubled. Doubled. Doubled. Always doubled!

    imho. your comment makes no sense. Package is what it is.

  • So much doubling of bandwidth, storage, intelligence and whatever in this thread. I am surprised nobody asked to double the size of their "Love Muscle" so far.

    How about we let you keep your IQ score and double its standard deviation?

    2TB as default.

    Most of the time I can only use up 2~5% of the allocated bandwidth.

    This month I'm running ArchiveTeam YouTube grabber in Tokyo.
    200GB consumed in 2 days.
    I shall deploy this to more servers.

    Why, if someone pays for 5TB package?

    I find these threads highly annoying, adding no value and being an all-round privacy risk since the provider (and whoever hacks them) can link a forum account to a real identity.

    More than 50% have voted Nay. I guess people have decided.

  • The rules have been updated according to the poll results - no "double bandwidth" offers.

    A milestone LE* moment.

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?
