Hi,

Effective immediately we have doubled the base plan's data transfer
quota from 1TB/month outbound to 2TB/month for paying customers.
Those on 95th percentile billing have had the base plan doubled from
4Mbit/s to 8Mbit/s.

If you currently pay for extra data transfer quota (or 95th
percentile commitment) and don't need it anymore then you should
check that out and contact support to remove it if necessary.

If you pay by PayPal subscription then your subscription in PayPal
won't have updated its description as these are set at the time they
are created; please check with the Panel² to know what your specs
are and compare them with your running VM.

We've also gone through and had a look at the specs of the sponsored
hosting accounts¹ and standardised most of them to 1.5G memory, 2TB
data transfer as some of these were quite old and were on the lower
defaults of old. Not all of those have had their data transfer quota
doubled, because some were already higher than the base, but
everyone got something!

I absolutely am not going to do a "keep calm" line, so I will just
say take care of yourselves and each other and please use more
bandwidth. Preferably for good, not evil.

Cheers,
Andy
