> I can rent unlimited 250mbit servers for 14 euros a month from Scaleway.
If we're looking only at egress, we can even find cheaper alternatives. OVH, for example, offers VPS' with 500Mbps unlimited for 10 euros a month, 1Gbps for 20 euros, etc.

It's not unlimited, but 20TB is more than enough for the most use cases.

Though I don't know how well it compares.

VPS accounts may not:
exceed a 15 minute load average greater than two (2) times the amount of CPU cores given.
run public IRCd's or malicious bots.
run any type of BitTorrent client or tracker that links to or downloads illegal content.
use an Open/Public proxy, or utilize a proxy to access illegal/malicious content.
se I/O intensive applications which adversely affect normal server operations.
I do see they have a bit of a vague way of getting out of hosting you if you're really being excessive on the network throughput. It largely sounds like as long as your network usage isn't causing other customer impacts its still unlimited. I imagine even OVH or any other hosting service will have similar terminology along the lines of any usage that negatively impacts other customers is prohibited.
