Hetzner cuts traffic on US VPSs, raises prices

Bit annoying that the word tariff differs between the continents. Was thinking it related to possible trade tariffs

Am I calculating right that 20TB per month means around ~60Mbits per second for 24/7? Not a network expert, but it is hard to see how this could be sustainable for less than €5/month.

Sounds a bit like the usual case where company is able to give a generous offering because most customers utilize just a small portion of it. Maybe with the attention they have been getting, they have attracted more bandwidth hungry customers.

Was also disappointed after receiving this update today, price increases across the board and gone are the days of generous 20TB free traffic which we've been enjoying for over a decade. Our Hetzner VMs now limited to 1-3TB free traffic, feels like the end of an era.

That’s a bit harsh but probably for understandable reasons, I wonder if DHHs shoutout to Hetzner in his last demo had an effect.

I think this is fair. All their competitors have crazy pricing for bandwidth, so why should be they be generous ?
