I've just read their main website. Out bandwidth at $0.01 per GB? Has anybody tried this? Looks too good to be true.

It's not :) we built a brand new network to be able to offer this at scale.

Brilliant, I can finally implement one of my bandwidth intensive ideas! Thanks Steven!

Is this "brand new" network substantively different from the one you launched last year? Looks to me like this is still based off of OVH's (oft never fully online) internal 1Tbps network + a lot of rented fiber or virtual-PoP over rented transit.

Is the bandwidth still part of the lackluster Volume network you use in your French DCs?
