As for applying to older servers, that was directed to Ovh, hence no mention of it in my reply. It is a very valid question for those with servers already who are broaching their 'quota'.
Even with the bandwidth charges being half the price, going from 10TB to 20TB would still cost 87.50 which is is still more expensive than a second EG_Bof at 82.24 (inc) and you get twice the disk and cpu, it can be used as a failover solution but, I do apperciate it does involve twice the work to administer and so is not for everyone.
I do of course totally agree with the comment about lack of notification to customers about the change as highlighted by Myatu's link. Saying that, after only one month checking the forums here, this seems to be the way Ovh operate, and it is known that they have a policy of not telling their customers if you read the forums. Of course not everyone has the time or interest to do so...
