2.) VPS News#1: Implementation of traffic flat-rate
So far, the VPS plans M, L, XL, ProM, ProL as well as ProXL were available with a monthly free volume at full bandwidth. Upon reaching the free volume, the connection was throttled to 10Mbit/s. This restriction has been removed – thus, each VPS has an unlimited traffic flat-rate without forced throttling.
