Re: [tor-relays] DigitalOcean bandwidth billing changes

[Cody Logan <clpo13@xxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding grandfathered accounts, section 3.7 of their terms of service is worth a closer look:

“Subscribers of Grandfathered Accounts must NOT: (i) run Torrents for download or Seed Servers, TOR, or services that include content of an adult or pornographic nature [...] or otherwise circumvent the intended fair usage of free bandwidth by distributing it freely to others. Failure of Subscribers of Grandfathered Accounts to follow these terms will result in the revocation of their Accounts' grandfathered status.”

Good on yer... DigitalOcean bills for outbound traffic, and with a price
of $0.01/GB (sadly not GiB) every TB in excess of a Droplet's monthly
allowance--a meager 1GB for their smallest model--will cost an extra 10
USD. Who has that kind of money?
