They say 100Mbps unmetered for $7.50 a month, but the management page
says
10TB per month.
Sometimes countries definitions of "unmetered" are like that. See the descriptive texts of ISPs who provide virtual machines or even dedicated servers for you. In iceland most if not all iceland based (legal entity in iceland, not just the servers) ISPs somehow depend on advania datacenter, and for advania in the retail, non-customized sale of their VMs and dedicated servers are very low in monthly traffic compared to the fair-use policy of the non-profit ISP I am at currently.
Fun fact, US has quite a lot of exit relays, but France holds the
highest
consensus weight.
Another interesting fact - the person does not share these analysis of course, or at least it's hard to get in touch currently - is that in Netherlands a very large number of relays is run by government agencies.
So how do you know that for sure ? Have they confirmed that somewhere ?
If I don't forget about to add this to my todo list, I try to get back in contact with the people and see if they have some kind of dataset they are willing to share. As far as I understood it at the end of last year, they run some kind of audit on the nodes for their own safety, to check who they can trust in their already bad situation as a group.
