How does data in/out work in practice with them? I see this 4 Tbit bandwidth but do you happen to know what that translates to and what happens if you exceed that?

Also check availability shows a 5 day wait current: “EX51-SSD-GPU for Falkenstein (FSN1): Due to very high demand for these server models, its current setup time is approximately up to 5 workdays.*” Or maybe there are other regions/dcs.

I have like 18 of their auction servers that are unmetered at 1gbps and really make that bandwidth sweat. I've never had issues honestly, and they've never tried to dreamhost me. I love it.

So far I did not reach that limit (I used it to train networks for image segmentation) so I had mostly ingress and only downloaded large amounts to the machine not from it (which is free like with most providers).

But you can just ask them.

I have to say that not everything was 100% smooth - sometimes the proprietary NVidia driver crashed (you have to use the right CUDA and driver combination) my Linux instance and hanged the system, so I had to hard-reboot it (which is supported via their admin console) which takes some minutes. However that's not their fault as I heard the driver is a big pile of crap shit anyway because NVidia is too embarrassed to post it to LKML.
