This is somewhat inaccurate: OVH only allows 500Mbps download and 1Gbps upload, and does not even guarantee that 500Mbps for Tor and other (open) proxies. Guaranteed 1Gbps transit both ways will cost you another $105 per month until the end of September 2016, and $210 per month afterwards. > * The cheapest 1 rack collocation I've found is 400$/mo for 1Gbps transit > (via HurricaneElectric); this was substantially cheaper than most quarter and > half rack colo options as well. > > This cost is broken out into two things > * transit (when not using a discount network like HE) you can expect to pay > upwards of $1000 / Gbit > * power (and cooling), somewhere between 10~50$/mo per amp depending on how > dense you are and if you want redundant A/B power. > > For not particularly dense installs on modern hardware, you can thumb about > 1.5A per rack U.
