May I ask from which provider you are getting this VPS? 20USD for unlimited 10Gbit/s bandwidth sounds a bit too good to be true.

View on HN

I was able to get a custom 10gbit unmetered plan from Virmach a couple years ago. Definitely real, and I've been pulling double-digit-TB egress for months without issue.

I see on their website you can upgrade to 10gbit metered for an extra $2/month but I don't know what they'd charge for the unmetered options now.

There are lots and lots of providers if you are happy with 1gbit unmetered though: I'm a happy customer of BuyVM (starting from less than $2 a month!) and Scaleway (bandwidth depends on your plan).

If you are happy to spend a bit more for your own dedicated box, OVH, Hertzner, Online.net are great options. All of them offer unmetered BW I believe.

unfortunately after doing research into all of those, their terms of service allows them to charge more or cancel your account after what they consider to be 'excessive' bandwidth usage, so i wouldnt consider them truly unlimited or unmetered. It doesnt seem virmach offers unmetered anymore, but I may reach out to them

I asked Hetzner specifically whether they'd have a problem if I saturated my dedicated Gb connection for a month, and they said no, it's mine to saturate.

I don't remember if this is on a dedicated box or a VPS, but IIRC it was dedicated and the VPS has a 3 TB/mo limit.

Hosts such as Leaseweb, nForce or Worldstream have 100TB+ plans you can purchase. If you're willing to spend quite a bit, they also offer truly unmetered plans. I've personally used all three of them, but never used more than 100TB a month.

Awesome, thank you for this. will check them out.
