I would go with Hetzner: https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ex51-ssd-gpu GTX1080 for 100$ a month. Grantend, it is older, but it still works for DL. Let's say you do 10 experiments a month for ~20 hours. Thats 0.5$/hour and I don't think it is 3 times faster. If you then want to do even more learning the price goes even down. //DISCLAIMER: I do not work for them, but used it for DL in the past and it was fo…

Also check availability shows a 5 day wait current: “EX51-SSD-GPU for Falkenstein (FSN1): Due to very high demand for these server models, its current setup time is approximately up to 5 workdays.*” Or maybe there are other regions/dcs.

How does data in/out work in practice with them? I see this 4 Tbit bandwidth but do you happen to know what that translates to and what happens if you exceed that?

But you can just ask them.
I have to say that not everything was 100% smooth - sometimes the proprietary NVidia driver crashed (you have to use the right CUDA and driver combination) my Linux instance and hanged the system, so I had to hard-reboot it (which is supported via their admin console) which takes some minutes. However that's not their fault as I heard the driver is a big pile of crap shit anyway because NVidia is too embarrassed to post it to LKML.

Still way too much money when a 2x 2080Ti comparably specced machine under my desk costs less than 2.5 months of their billing rate, and 4x 1080Ti servers in my garage cost about 1 month of their 4-GPU machine _and_ have more SSD storage. This pricing is totally insane, especially if not billed per-minute (which in Linode's case it is not) and if there are no cheaper preemptible/spot instances.
