Without bandwidth limitation that's true. OTH, I currently consume only ~ 50 Gbits/month and the limit is 500 Gbits. Would a relay limited to let's say 200 or 300 Gbits/month still be useful for the community?
People, can we please mind using the proper units. I know Tor doesn't make it easy because Tor itself incorrectly uses Bytes. But Tor is a network application, and real network apps are measured in 'bits per second', not 'bytes transferred off disk', even if the latter is what silly hosters sell by... mostly due to their presumed need to tie in with their typical customers supposed Apache access_logs. But believe me, what hosters really care about is their upstream bill in bps rate, they're just converting that for access_log presentation to you. Your further mixing of 'giga bits per month' doesn't help *at all*. Please try to use 'bits per second' as the common denominator on this (network application) list.
BTW, Gandi is historically a fairly progressive company. The right approach could have some good wins there.
