@WebHorizon plan suits eveything, but I don't know about the CN2 connection
sadly nope asked them
CN2 is expensive. Very expensive.
I know that's why I'm looking for (over)shared line
That thing is over shard to begin with 😂😂. You may need to lower your requirements or up the price Brother.
welp will se if nothing pops up
Per year? 500GB? Not gonna happen. @randvegeta the expert can tell you more.
Nothing will pop up if you're actually expecting to be able to use 500GB/month of direct China traffic. Heck, even 50GB/month would be too much.
Shared or not, 500GB, if you actually use it, means an average (continuous equivalent) of 1.6Mbit.
Even if you were talking about the dirty cheapest bandwidth available in HK, which would be something like HE.net or Cogent, which all in on a 1G commit or less, you're talking about $1/month/mbit or more. Ok sure, if you have 10G commit you can get this down to less than $0.50/mbit. But the point is, even with the dirtiest cheapest bandwidth available, your $12/yr budget doesn't even cover the bandwidth cost.
The only way a provider can make money off that plan would be if it was ridiculously oversold and the average usage was considerably below the BW you have specified.
If we're talking CN2, on small commits, we're still talking >$100/Mbit. Some of the larger providers have got bulk discounts, but even then, anything less than $50/mbit is kindof unheard of. But even if you assume a mythical price of $20/mbit (which does not exist for CN2), and we assume that 100% of your $12/yr budget would go towards bandwidth costs because the provider somehow has free hardware, space, cooling and electricity, then the 'fair' amount of bandwidth that $1/month could afford, again... assuming an unrealistically low price of $20/mbit, then you're looking at 15.85GB/month of fair usage.
But since space, electricity and hardware isn't free, and bandwidth probably cost AT LEAST $50/mbit for even large providers, the actual fair usage is probably more like 2GB per month. YES. Fair would be 2GB. And that's still being generous.
That's just how expensive China bandwidth is.
@randvegeta good responsive person. Cannot be wrong with them.
You may not find the answer here, you may find the answer better in the Chinese forum
