Reference conversions; providers bill in the original currency. Annual plans require payment upfront. Unknown tax and setup fees are excluded; unverified prices sort last. Listed does not mean in stock.
Transfer allowance and bandwidth are separate. Advertised ports are not measured throughput. Verify egress/combined metering, port sharing, fair-use and overage terms with the provider; unreviewed terms stay unknown. Cost per TB divides the monthly-equivalent plan price by included transfer (1 TB = 10¹² bytes); it is not an overage billing rate. Unknown never means unmetered.
Evidence before a verdict.
Each report includes its method, region and timestamp. A short benchmark is an observation, not an uptime promise.
