In Privex's autonomous regions (where Privex controls both the hardware and the network), we charge customers for fully unmetered (FUM) networking based on the cost of our transit and peering - as well as based on which/how many major networks we peer with (peering with more major networks = less traffic going over expensive transit).
This is generally priced per megabit per month, with the price per megabit getting lower as you buy higher speeds (because transit and peering connections are usually cheaper per mbit - the higher the port speed you buy).
Virtual servers (VPS) in our autonomous regions, come with 100mbps to 1gbps Metered or Fair Use, while Dedicated Servers generally come with either 1gbps Fair Use, or 1gbps Effectively Unmetered (unless you opted for an alternative bandwidth plan at the time of ordering).
| Speed (mbps) | SE $/mbit/mo | NL $/mbit/mo | US $/mbit/mo | SE Total $/mo | NL Total $/mo | US Total $/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $0.40 | $0.35 | $0.15 | $40.00 | $35.00 | $15.00 |
| 300 | $0.39 | $0.33 | $0.14 | $117.00 | $99.00 | $42.00 |

We can often offer discounted bandwidth in cases of high traffic between specific destinations. If the majority of your traffic stays within Privex regions, or goes over our peering partners via an internet exchange (STHIX, SFMIX, ERA-IX, etc.), or a direct in-datacenter peer, please reach out to us for a potential discount of 25% or more.
This is because a connection to an Internet Exchange such as STHIX, generally has a MUCH lower monthly cost per mbit compared to a transit provider.
In some cases, it can even be FREE for us to peer at certain non-profit exchanges, such as SOL-IX - which only required us to pay a relatively small one-time connection fee for our 10gbps port, after which - we're allowed to keep our port and use the exchange without paying a monthly fee or any other extra costs (unless we wanted a second exchange port, or wanted to upgrade our port to a faster speed).
All dedicated servers in Germany and Finland come with FULLY UNMETERED (FUM) 1gbps (1,000 megabits per second) as standard, meaning you can max out the provided 1gbps 24/7 if you need to do so :)
If you want to upgrade your DE/FI dedicated server to 10gbps, you can do so for an additional US$70/mo (price is subject to change. please contact us to find out the current monthly price for a DE/FI dedicated server 10gbps upgrade).
The $70/mo includes both the 10gbps uplink (internet connection), and upgrading the server's NIC (Network Card) to a 10gbps NIC. Please be aware that the 10gbps upgrade is NOT unmetered. A DE/FI dedicated server upgraded to 10gbps will have 20TB per month of inclusive bandwidth, while if you use more than 20TB of bandwidth in a single month, you'll be charged at ~$1.44/TB on your next month's bill.
