I always feel that it under reports my usage

That just takes a while to update, its not instant. Could be daily or something more - I havent noticed.

This is the confusion for me:

But if you get unmetered you can use as many bytes as you want, no cap, and no infrastructure scheme. But this is only available on the SPs for now... 100mbit per server.

At current the new servers are managed by the TB. You get the 100Mbps or 1Gbps of the NIC to the internet (no infrastructure limit) but you are limited to a certain amount of transfer per month. See each server page for the info.

ah ok so its cumulative then in the old regime. if i had 5 servers it'd be 500mbit? or was there a cap? i remember some sort of cap...

excellent re: new servers. handy to know.

Your old servers stay on the infrastructure scheme which is 200mbit shared between them - so 100mbit each.

Your new servers are completely independant from each other - no more grouping or shared bandwidth. You can have as many servers as you like and now shared speeds. Especially on the unmetered series.

Considering they keep swapping their rules I'm completely confused...

Let's say I have 2 servers from the old standard series, and 2 servers in the new series. The old standard are 100mbit links. from the new standard, one is 100mbit, the other is the 1gbps link.

So question: are these servers treated independently? especially in the new series. in the old series i recall something about 100mbit shared between servers, but unlimited trunk priority traffic. is this still the case??
