For dedicated they say this:

>All root servers have a dedicated 1 GBit uplink by default and with it unlimited traffic.

>Inclusive monthly traffic for servers with 10G uplink is 20TB. There is no bandwidth limitation. We will charge € 1/TB for overusage.

So it sounds like it depends. I have used them for (I'm guessing) 20 years and have never had a network problem with them or a surprise charge. Of course I mostly worked in the low double digit terabytes. But have had servers with them that handled millions of requests per day with zero problems.

20TB egress on AWS runs you almost $2,000 btw. one of the biggest benefits of Hetzner

1 / 8 * 3600 * 24 * 30 = 324000 so that 1GBit/s server could conceivably get 324TB of traffic per month "for free". It obviously won't, but even a tenth of data is more than the data included with the 10G link.

They do have a fair use policy on the 1GBit uplink. I know of one report[1] of someone using over 250TB per month getting an email telling them to reduce their traffic usage.

The 10GBit uplink is something you need to explicitly request, and presumably it is more limited because if you go through the trouble of requesting it, you likely intend to saturate it fairly consistently, and that server's traffic usage is much more likely to be an outlier.

It sounds like a good tradeoff. The monthly cost of a small vCPU is equivalent to a few TB of bandwidth.
