What's your budget?
Awaiting the "$4 a year" reply.
@trewq,
I propose we define 'unlimited' to mean 'dedicated', or to mean that there is a high probability of the user using 100% of the traffic.
I also propose a second term of 'Shared Unlimited' accompanied by a speed a contention ratio figure desired by the user.
So if someone says they want 1G port, unlimited bandwidth, it should be assumed that they are referring to approx 300TB of data transfer, and providers can make offers accordingly.
Similarly, if the OP wants 1G port, unlimited SHARED bandwidth, with a contention ratio of no more than 50:1, it suggest that they would accept 50 or less other users sharing a 1G uplink. Essentially it would be like 20Mbit guaranteed, burstable upto 1G.
Like wise, if providers come here to make such offers, then the same defenitions should be used. If a provider comes and offers a 1G unlimited port, the buyer should have the right to use 300TB data transfer without any complaints or issues from the provider.
And then we can eliminate all these silly 'I WANT UNLIMITED' threads. No?
No.
I much prefer the term unmetered to unlimited. Unlimited is just a marketing term that naive people use to describe what they want.
What you've suggested is perfectly reasonable and I'd love to implement it but it's not realistic to enforce from a Moderators point of view. Feel free to bring it up with people if you see someone asking for unlimited
I can do this for you for $250/m. Proper 250Mbit guaranteed on 1G burst.
Under 18 a month is reasonable ...
I'm fine with unmetered ... i will generally hit maybe 100 tb a month. I need a minimum of 50mbit so shared is fine ... as long as you dont over subscribe (ahem ... ahem ... wishosting ...)
For 18 per month? Not gonna happen. Your best bet is OVH Soyoustart line, but starts at 30 a month.
100TB VPS. That's a first. Check out Afterburst since they do 1Gbps unmetered but I don't know if they actually want people pushing 100TB on them.
For 30+ I might as well just get a Hetzner box ... There must be some middle ground if these guys are charging 9 a month for a OVH backed link.

I would use them but others i know rarely get 10mbits from them ...
Oneprovider Dedicated?
They don‘t: https://afterburst.com/network-policy
Funny enough they call themselve unmetered and want you to consume only 5 TB/m on the highest plan.
Good peering to where ?
West Coast
Oh wow, that's surprising. I doubt they really enforce it though, but good to share. If I remember correctly the owner is on LET.
Well...
So your port speed gets throttled to 10-40 mbps? Superb... thats why i don‘t trust cheap unmetered offers
We're flexible - that's what our policy is for, but not 100tb flexible. That's dedicated server level with a 300-500mbps commit on gige.
Where are you/your company located? Didn‘t found an company address and WHOIS of your Domains is protected by the Ghandi Whois Protection, which is also a little bit.....curious.
100TB?
Nocix? Get a dedi. https://www.nocix.net/cart/?id=267
$25/month, close to your budget
Nice, these do seem decent. Is this the only company offering dedis at this price point ?
With 100TB? Pretty much. There are other companies with cheap deals on dedis but often its less bandwidth included
WSI also has a few @ $25 (WSI and Nocix are the same company)

Tilaa.com, blazingfast.io, zetservers.com
How can there people afford these prices ? Doesn't seem sustainable.
Your things do not generate money.
Some years ago 100Mbit did cost 2000$ in EU/US, and just a few more back 100Mbit was 20000$.
0.25-1$ per Mbit or 1-3$ per TB are realistic.
I don't think finding a VPS provider that allow 100tb of bandwidth is easy, but you can check Scaleway.com
If not then it's ovh or online.net
Had a blazingfast VPS and used 100tb+
Also had a seedbox with http://www.ultraseedbox.com/ and in their control panel it said 100tb as a "limit" although they claim to be unlimited. This thing had amazing routing and was on 10Gbps. I was really surprised about what I got for the price. I used 4-5Gbit for hours one time. You have SSH access, but no root. Still, you can place files on public http links.
Netcup promises a minimum throughput of 200 Mbit/s on their shared 1 Gbps VPSes. You might wanna settle with them starting from 8€/month. Might be your best call.
Was looking into seedboxes ... this will ultimately be a plex server mounting from gdrive. I think i can't get by without sudo though.
