of course we don't deploy a network accounting for every machine at 200mb/s flat 24/24, this would just be throwing money away. The reality is that most users won't be using these 200mb/s constantly, every customer have different traffic pattern usages. We (online.net) have a long history in dedicated servers (yes we have a >1tb/s global network footprint), we known how to scale the network the proper way. It is care…

Do you mean the 1Gbps port for the enclosure (i.e. the server hosting the 912 blades)? If so, unless you're providing many 1Gbps links you're not anywhere close to providing good quality networking for these

Officially they provide 2000 read/write IOPS for a volume composed of one chunk (50GB) [1]. You measured 4000 r/w IOPS, so does this mean you ran it on a 100GB volume? If yes, then that's pretty amazing you get exactly the expected allocated IOPS performance for a $3.40/mo server. [1] https://www.scaleway.com/faq/server/

A huge part of the monthly cost of any infrastructure is less about power and the hardware and more about the quality of the internet connection. If I can't get data in and out quickly it isn't going to be much good to me.
